BLV Nimble Mosquito mount

thingiverse

Hi all, This is a custom hotend mount I've made up for the BLV MGN Cube printer to allow the use of a Zesty Nimble V1 extruder with a Slice Engineering Mosquito hotend. Note that I've designed this mount to use slightly shorter screws (M3 x 35) than standard, as using normal-length screws will collide with the Mosquito cooling fan. **UPDATE - 5/02/2020 - New version of bottom carriage with dc42 mount added** I've adjusted the slot size for bigger micro switches and increased clearance by 6.77mm, making it easier to fit than a flush 6.54mm would have been. Please let me know if this has any further issues. **UPDATE - 5/01/2020 - New version of 5015ProtoPartCoolerMosqMain.stl uploaded** I've made multiple improvements to positioning and added air guides/baffles, which confirmed that the new fan mount is much better, running between 30-50% when printing PETG. **UPDATE - 1/1/2020 - Improvements to fitment of the fan and mount made** I believe the older mount piece may be better as long as 60% or higher infill is used. With 40% infill, I found it drooped a little more than desired. **UPDATE - 30/12/2019 - New two-piece fan mount for part cooling with a 5015 fan uploaded** I will possibly upload a tweaked version later, but this one looks like it will work and needs reasonably high infill (I printed at 50% initially). **UPDATE - 25/12/2019 - Part cooling fan test fit completed** Alignment was off for cooling and hit the nozzle. Now adjusted in the new version. This is still an alpha and yet to be tested. **UPDATE - 15/12/2019 - New versions of dc42 x-carriage bottom mount and part cooler fan mount uploaded** Please let me know if there are any remaining clearance issues. **UPDATE - 28/11/2019 - Modular version created** I've provided modular mounts for part cooling fan (5015 fan required), bltouch, and DC42 IR sensor (via different bottom X-carriage piece). **UPDATE - 27/11/2019 - Alignment issue found** This has been potentially fixed on the new BLTouch version. I'm yet to check and rectify on the others. Screw holes have been added to mount a part cooling fan. Added mount for dc42 IR sensor. Please advise if this position causes any issues, as the plug will need to face away from the hotend for clearance... unsure if it will fit yet. Offset for DC42 IR: * 0 on X axis * 15.27 on Y axis Added mount with BLTouch mount option. Offset for BLTouch: * 0.024 on Y * -21.847 on X **UPDATE - I've uploaded a new version with an extra 3mm clearance** Between the heatsink and backplate, this should allow better airflow. Please advise if you find more clearance needed or if this requires any further tuning. With the exception of the basic adaptor piece from Zesty Technology, and the x-carriage bottom piece (DC42 IR mount hack), I've made all of this model for scratch, so please comment if there are any issues or improvement ideas. I believe 0.2mm layer height would be best for this model, as some supports will be required. Please use PETG or ABS, basically anything that can handle heat as well as (if not better than) PETG.
