Prusa simplified mendel

Description
Fresh revisions of the firmwares explicitely deal with the Arduino internal 10K pull-ups and allow for dispensing of the external pull-ups, resistors, LEDs and endstop-pcb paraphernalia: a most welcome simplification.
Many microswitches come with a 10 mm spacing between M2 holes. The Prusa Mendel endstop holders feature a different spacing & hole size. Fear not! editing the parametric file is straightforward, and for expediency here is also the stl file.
Note: All due credit must be given to Adrian's Prusa Notes reprap.org/wiki/Adrians_Prusa_Notes : he deals with 9.5mm spacing and M2.5 holes. My mod was independent of his.
I adopted lever-less microswithces, they supposedly allow for better repeatability.

Perfect for the smaller microswitches they sell at RadioShack. Thanks!
