Cart X-Axis Anet A8 with Bondtech BMG and V6

thingiverse

This is a remix of the excellent X Axis carrier from "Giovanni1965". I'm using his design for the Y axis too, and highly recommend it. To modify the X axis, I wanted to attach the BMG extruder and V6 hot end. So, I removed the holes for mounting the stock extruder, added a mount that's sandwiched between the BMG and extruder motor, and secured the wires with a zip-tie. I took out the posts from the rear of the carrier that were for attaching the belt since this gets printed lying on its back now with the extruder mount on the front. I added two holes for M4 screws, they're counter sunk a bit so the head of the screws won't get in the way of the extruder and motor. I used M4 panhead screws. For cooling, I used the cooling duct from the Cobra mount which you can find here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2948847 There is also a version there for a 5015 radial fan if you want to use the stock one. Any similar solution that clamps to a V6 hot end should work, as long as it clears the BMG extruder. 8-10-18 I worked up a better cooling solution for the hotend and using a 5015 radial fan for parts cooling, I've uploaded it separately here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3801101 Check the original design here for a list of hardware: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3031140 You will need to get the file "Carpo_Mobile.stl" from there to complete this as well. Print two of the "spacer.stl" from here, they fit between the main part and the top two bearings. I suggest doing the Y axis too: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3039884
