Anet A8 E3D Chimera / Cyclops / Legends Extruder

thingiverse

After scouring the market for a suitable extruder mount and being dissatisfied with what was available, I took matters into my own hands and drew one from scratch. I adapted the fan mount and shroud from RoBo3D's E3D Cyclops or Chimera X Carriage design, courtesy of mkelly, published on February 7, 2015, found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:671881, and made a few minor adjustments to ensure they fit perfectly. Printed in PET-G, I spent an inordinate amount of time fine-tuning the settings in Cura, ultimately attaching the profile I used for all the parts. Perhaps you can refine them even further! Please share your thoughts, as this is my inaugural upload, and I'm eager to give back to the community. Pics of the extruder and my printer will follow shortly! EDIT: I've uploaded an updated extruder plate designed to work seamlessly with the belt mount. Though untested at present, I'm about to print it now. The belt mount is engineered to provide a snug interference fit with the screws; however, I'll revisit this aspect later.
