I am a new CNC user and just completed my CNC Router Parts CRP4848 build. When I bought the kit, I went ahead and sprung for their proximity limit switch kit as well. I really like them but hated the metal brackets they send with them. I was constantly bumping them and then my switches would be out of place and not work.
So, for one of my first real projects on the machine, I sat down and came up with a new bracket and thought someone else might benefit from them. They were cut from 3/16" acrylic since that is what I had on hand as scraps! They work awesome and have just enough give in the acrylic that if I mess up and hit the limits when jogging a little too hard, they will give and not break. You will have to change out the bumper screws since they will not be long enough with the new brackets but that is simple.
Anyway, here are some pictures of what they look like installed on my machine.

I have attached the dxf file if anyone wants to use it.
