Compact bowden extruder carriage

This is a revised version of something I published earlier (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2945783), but only the carriage part has been redone, not the rest.It was created using Openscad instead of Freecad so that it could be used on printers with varying X rod interaxis.The carriage works well for printers with horizontal axis layouts like my modified Geeetech printer setup.The extruder configuration features a 45mm throat with a heating block, utilizing a few washers as heatsinks.It functions effectively and is very compact, allowing more printable area on the X axis.The top side of the throat is attached to an M6 tube fitting using just an M6 nut.The case for the extruder mount holds a 40mmx40mm cooling fan.I mainly redesigned this carriage because I need to implement some attachments and want to make them modular and as compact as possible.
