Anet A8 E3D V6 Mount Lightweight with LED Light

thingiverse

I've been using this E3D V6 mount for a couple of months, and I'm happy to report that it's worked without any issues. The main reason I designed this mount was to reduce the weight of the Hotend, which would allow me to increase the precision of my printer. I also decided not to use a probe in order to minimize weight even further. The total weight of the assembly, including three 40mm fans, is approximately 90g. To use this E3D mount, you'll need to modify your x-endstop. I created an endstop that incorporates two switches for both the x- and z-axis.

This combination works well with a webcam. As a result of these modifications, my printer now runs smoothly and quietly. I appreciate any feedback you may have.
