Anet A6 X-carriage Dovanzeijl Remix for Igus with Circlips

This is a remix of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2171816 The Dovanzeijl carriage is the ultimate choice for 3Dv6 hotend users, but I wanted to take it to the next level by addressing a few areas that needed improvement. First and foremost, I reinforced the belt connections for added strength. Next, I lengthened the cylinders for the bearings so Igus or copper bearings no longer protrude awkwardly. To secure them in place, I created openings at the four ends for circlips to hold the bearings snugly inside. Using Fusion 360, I took the step file and implemented these changes myself - a valuable learning experience as a beginner in the software. I also remixed a bltouch holder that's been working flawlessly on my machine; you can find it here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3919316 To round out this remix, I added the STL for the fan duct, which is the original design from Dovanzeijl. The D3V6 lock has been scaled down to make insertion easier. A holder with a strain relief for wires was also created, featuring copper brass with an M3 thread for effortless mounting (houder & klem STL). Lastly, I integrated the X carriage endstop plate (thingiverse.com/thing:2612408), giving users the option to position the microswitch in one of two different configurations.
