Creality Sprite Extruder Simple Tool Changer (Remixed from ProperPrinting)

thingiverse

A quick tool changer that I remixed from ProperPrinting to fit the Sprite Upgrade kit I purchased for my Ender 3 v2. **Reason**: I first realized I had to reverse the top right and bottom bolts for the x-gantry wheels so that the nuts would not collide with the x-gantry bracket on the right. However, after flipping the bolts around, I had the new problem of the lock nut pushing against the Sprite extruder. **Solution**: Because of these clearance issues, I opted to use ProperPrinting's tool changer as a spacer with the added benefit of being able to quickly remove the hotend for maintenance. I added a cutout to fit the lock nut on the top right and also removed the step in the original design on the base to add some rigidity to the top rail. **Files**: - _base - bolt cutout_: mounts to the base plate, held by the 4 screws meant for the Sprite extruder - _base - bolt cutout extended_: an alternative to the base, added another screw hole that lines up with the hole in the pancake motor for some extra security - _tool holder - bolt cutout_: mounts to the Sprite extruder ------------------------------------------------- Credits for the original design and printing/mounting instructions go to [@ProperPrinting](https://www.thingiverse.com/properprinting/designs).
