[EP] Bottom plate endstop mount

[tetele]

Problem description

There are printer designs where the X endstop is mounted below the gantry.

Describe the solution you'd like

A bottom plate groove (identical to the one on the top plate) to mount same-spec endstop carriers would be super beneficial.

Functional and non-functional requirements

• place endstop below the aluminium extrusion
• (nice to have) allow the endstop switch to be slid under/in the carriage, so that you get more range of motion in the X axis

Considered Alternatives

Routing a mount/support from the top plate around the gantry and avoiding the belts is complicated and does not produce structurally rigid parts. Not to mention elegant ones.

Additional context

Case in point: the BLV MGN Cube printer design, where the X endstop is mounted below the carriage and hits a vertical surface in the leftmost piece that connects the gantry to the Y linear rail.
