CTC Prusa i3 Extruder Upgrade Mounting Bracket

thingiverse

I'm creating an x-carriage mounting bracket for a clone of Geeetech's spring-loaded extruder. This is necessary because the original upgrade can't fit on a CTC i3 (Prusa clone) in direct drive format due to the holes being too close to the x-carriage. This new bracket solves that problem. It may or may not work with an original Geeetech extruder, but I think they're essentially the same design. ***EDIT*** I have to say, my experience is that the original Geeetech extruder is actually better than this upgrade. It just needs a bit of TLC. For me, the biggest issue was the screws holding the fan to the motor block. They shouldn't be too tight - it's best when they're tightened all the way and then backed off by one turn. Also, I find that running the nozzle hotter helps. I know some people have had trouble with this extruder, but so far it's been working fine for me.
