CTC I3 Slim E3D Mount

thingiverse

This is a mount that I've designed, which mounts an E3D V6 to the CTC I3 Pro B. It's been redesigned several times to ensure it fits perfectly. The core design was inspired by Tech2C's E3D mount. To assemble, you'll need 2 M3 screws measuring 25 or 30 mm in length, along with 2 M3 nuts and 2 M3 washers (with a maximum outer diameter of 7mm). For the fan, you'll require 2 M3 screws measuring 25mm, 2 square M3 nuts, and 2 additional M3 washers. For the fanduct, you'll need 2 M3 screws with lengths ranging from 10-16mm and 2 washers. Mounting the hotend requires 2 M4 screws measuring 16-25mm in length, 2 square M4 nuts (hex nuts likely won't fit), and 2 M4 washers (with a maximum outer diameter of 9mm). Future plans include converting the 5mm distance into a mounting plate compatible with other machines. Additionally, I aim to make this component indexable, eliminating the need to adjust Z-height each time you remove the hotend. As for BLTouch installation, I haven't done it yet, so I'm unsure if its placement is accurate. However, it's been positioned according to E3D and antclabs' plans available online. My mount was printed using PLA, with added aluminium foil on surfaces near heated parts as a precautionary measure. Edit: Two distance plates have been included - one featuring offset nuts for the CTC I3 and another with only holes for hotend mounting and square or hex nut placement.
