CR-10 mount for the Nimble Sidewinder V1.1

thingiverse

Use this mount to convert the CR-10 into a direct drive printer. It utilizes the Nimble Sidewinder and an E3D-V6 hot end to transform the CR-10 into a direct drive, allowing you to print flexible materials and print faster. The Nimble Sidewinder is a very lightweight extruder system with the stepper mounted in the same location as the original. There are two clamps available to clamp the V6 hot end, one plain and one containing a fan shroud for a bigger, quieter fan. Choose the one you prefer. Edit 1: Additional files have been added for the Sidewinder V1.1. The primary difference between the two Sidewinder versions is that V1.1 is mirrored. This modification proved to be more effective in various adapters. Edit 2: Oops! When transitioning to V1.1, I neglected to update the Clamp with the Fan shroud. Due to the V6 moving a little closer to the carriage, adjustments were necessary. I have now made these changes, so all files marked V1.1 are correct. Edit 3: Furthermore, additional clearance was added to ensure the V6 fits entirely inside. Therefore, use the V1.2 mount. Edit 4: A new mount has been added that allows you to install part cooling fans on the side or a BL Touch mount. The rails enable the fans to be adjusted in height for optimal cooling.

The STL models have been thoroughly checked and optimized. Parts that require a different orientation for proper printing are rotated to their preferred printing position. #### The Nimble Sidewinder Extruder With an installed weight of less than 30 grams on your carriage/effector, the Zesty Nimble Sidewinder is the smallest and lightest extruder available, offering ample torque and capable of being mounted in multiple orientations. The Nimble Sidewinder can be purchased from Zesty Technology.
