After almost a year in service, my stock hotend finally died (cartridge heater failed to heat). All this while, I was using Anet A8 Bowden All Stock (A8BAS) (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3088060). In the course of that period, I bought a cloned E3D V6 just lying around waiting as a replacement candidate if anything happened to my A8BAS. Lo and behold! It happened. --- The Goal.. I've been searching for an E3D V6 carriage that is compact and well centered, with parts cooling fan on the front, and everything contained within carriage width but couldn't find one. (Please let me know in the comments if I missed it). All I found was a generic E3D V6 mount that placed the hotend on the center of the carriage plate. Normally this results in the parts cooling fan moving slightly to the right, sticking out of the carriage width. --- Solution.. I designed my own :p YouTube Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZBwcPFRhLtI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2UW_B5iQflk
