Compact X Carriage for BLV Mgn Cube

thingiverse

This is a work in progress, and it has not been fully tested. Some elements may not work as intended. I designed a compact dual fan shield with the goal of having part cooling directly beside the nozzle to give equal cooling to both the front and back of the print. I also wanted to make maintenance easier by mounting the 40mm fan separately from the shield. I gave the 4010 fans separate shields as well, connecting them to the center shield with a hooked arm to prevent play. Everything is then held together with two screws. I have incorporated the Bl Touch fully into the front shield. Changes were made to the stock design: - The top of the v6 locker was leveled off and mounting holes were added for the bl touch arm, which will be attached using super glue. - I modified the x carriage front plate from Zesty to allow clearance for the center fan shield. I also straightened the mount. - A conduit was added to the rear plate for cable management. The concept is that wires will pass through the bottom plate and through the conduit. - The top plate has been flattened to give room for the Nimble. Printing the side shield fan ducts can be a little tricky because of the angles, which are not optimal for printing. I suggest printing upside down and blocking out supports for the part that overhangs past the shield. Adapting other front plates such as v6 bowden and direct shouldn't be difficult, but I have not done it yet.
