I made this Thing to combine a few Things for my direct drive upgrade. I used the SpeedDrive v1 by "sashalex007".

To be more precisely the file named speedDrive_mount_cableClip.stl
The drive mount has a Cable Chain connector built in to use with the Cable Chain by "johnniewhiskey".

"MichaW" had an interesting idea to glue a Cable Chain end to the X-endstop cover.

Since the new location of the extruder stepper motor would collide with the left vertical profile of the printer, "sashalex007" provides a small print to clip on your carriage to offset the endstop by roughly 7.5mm.
I used all those ideas to create a endstop cover with a built in 7.5mm offset for the endstop switch and mounting the Cable Chain aswell. Further I wanted to close the sides of the cover, since the only cable that goes into the cover, is the endstop limiter one. I modelled a pocket on the top, so you can route your cable with the ones that come with your Cable Chain.
I also included a file without the Cable Chain mount. This model has a small opening to the cable on the left side.
Thanks to "61114071" for providing the "Thing ico
Ender 3 Cable Chain Xend (alternative chain connector)", I just fixed some of the topology.

All 6 screws used for this are stock, you need no extra parts for it. Just unscrew the old cover, remove endstop limiter, screw the limiter onto print, route it through the top, connect and screw the cover on.
