Improved x endstop

Hi All,
My x endstop keeps slipping and failing to stop the carriage bashing into the frame on a regular basis despite me trying to fit a second plastic tie. Is there a thingiverse mod that fits an Original Prusa i3 MK1 that provides a solid mounting for the x endstop? I see some there but not sure if they work with an Original Prusa i3 MK1 or not. Has anyone out there got one they can recommend?
Cheers
Steve

If the endstop moves, it is because either the cable tie is not tight enough or the ange of the end stop is such that it is triggering too late.

Hi Peter,
Yes I agree. I replace the tie and it quickly loosens. It just seems like a poor quality solution I'm sure someone has a more robust solution
