I recently designed end-stop mounts for my Sculpfun S9 (https://www.printables.com/model/494233-sculpfun-s6s9-end-stop-brackets-in-openscad) using the very commonly available square end-stop PCB shown in the picture. I decided that it looked a little exposed and thus liable for short-circuits and other damage, so I designed a cover for them.

Although the pictures show them mounted on my Sculpfun S9, they are likely to fit any laser engraver or 3D printer that uses these switches. The only requirement is clear access to the top of the switch's PCB.

I made mine out of translucent PETG so that I could see the LED when it lit up, but I have also made them in translucent PLA. If you aren't bothered about seeing the LED you could make them in any colour you fancied. The holes are sized for M3 screws, but you may need to run a 3mm drill through before fitting the covers.
