$65 BOM Qidi Tech X-one + Xone 2 bondtech BMG V6 + Volcano mount

thingiverse

This is a mount to fit a Bondtech BMG dual gear extruder with an E3D V6 or E3D volcano hotend on the E3D V6 heatsink, of course. For this upgrade, you'll need the aforementioned parts plus a pancake stepper and a cartridge-style K-type thermocouple to replace the M4 screw-style K-type thermocouple. The total cost is $65 if you replace the stock stepper or $55 if you contact me and let me help you use the stock motor. A mirrored extruder is needed if you want to use the stock motor; do not buy a standard Bondtech BMG and expect to use the stock motor. Included in the download are some F3D files, which can be edited for yourself if desired. Otherwise, it will cost $20 to have me modify the design to work with a Slice Mosquito or a Titan extruder. A commercial license can be granted and would only cost $115. This allows you to use the design on as many printers as you like. The idea is that if you're making money off my design, it's not cool taking my hard work for free and profiting from it. As for the BOM (Bill of Materials), you'll need a few non-3D printed items. I get most of my stuff from Triangle-labs; they are awesome! https://trianglelab.aliexpress.com/store/1654223 For those who scorn others for using another company's design, their product is an improvement that uses all German CNC and manufacturing processes, which shows. If you're a Bowden user, they have a stock Bowden adapter that is better than the E3D one. Also, their injection-molded nylon 6 parts are much stronger than the SLS-printed Bondtech ones. Seriously, I cannot let myself buy some Bondtech and E3D products because they are too low quality. Here's a link to their extruder + heatsink combo: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32922611810.html This combo is an all-metal 24V version for $50. You'll also need a new stepper motor, which can be found here: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32768043304.html The last thing you need is a K-type thermocouple inside a 3x15mm cartridge. I chose to get a cheap Chinese one, but it may be a mistake since it's a very simple sensor. E3D also sells them; here are a few options: Cheap Chinese: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32857007349.html E3D (USA): https://www.matterhackers.com/store/l/e3d-type-k-thermocouple-cartridge/sk/MNXPV29Z E3D (EU): https://e3d-online.com/type-k-thermocouple-cartridge For the tube that goes into the hotend, I recommend getting Capricorn because they charge a reasonable price and have slightly superior product: Capricorn $12: https://www.captubes.com/shop/#!/1-Meter-XS-Low-Friction-1-75mm-Bowden-Tubing/p/82190682/category=23214267 Trianglelabs $3: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32811240720.html
