Bondtech BMG Adapter for Mosquito Hotend

thingiverse

This is my custom adapter for attaching the Slice Engineering Mosquito Hotend to a Bondtech BMG extruder. There were several models available that fit this extruder, but one major reason I designed my own was to prevent rotation of the Mosquito hotend inside the Bondtech extruder due to its original design intended for round E3D V6 heatsinks. The Slice Engineering Mosquito Hotend's 'one hand' nozzle change feature is a significant advantage, but the limitation on the Bondtech BMG extruder that fits the E3D V6 led me to try preventing this rotation by adding a tab at the end of the adapter that rests against the extruder assembly to prevent it. This is the first version of my design, so please note: - The PTFE hole opening is intentionally small and requires drilling to exactly 4mm due to the need for the tube to fit snugly in the adapter. - Supports are required on this adapter in areas of critical dimension for fitment in the Bondtech assembly, so sanding will likely be necessary. - I used NylonX material for my prototype because it blocks rotation when loosening and tightening new nozzles to the Mosquito Hotend, making it a tough material like Nylon, ABS, or PC.
