Customizable MyMaki E3D Mount for Makibox

This is a revised OpenSCAD version of the E3D mount for Makibox, courtesy of Andreas' help in making Customizer functional! Customizer generates one STL at a time. To split it with ease, right-click on your model within Cura. When preparing your parts for printing, make sure flat sides are aligned downward. For a smoother print process, consider setting 0.1mm layer height and 40% infill as defaults. Here is where we take the plunge: understanding parameters for flawless printing. To do so effectively, it's helpful to be familiar with key specs of Makibox. Key figures: rod width stands at 4mm; distance between rods measures 20mm. Consider a modest increase - just 0.2mm in your tolerances, if you will - yielding an optimized rod measurement of approximately 4.2mm, paired with about 19.8mm space to keep it all perfectly aligned. Here are some technical facts and specifications about the mighty E3D v5: check out the handy drawings online (click on http://files.e3d-online.com/Drawings/E3D_Heat_Sink.jpg for your reference). According to those very specs, we can deduce a specific mount diameter, considering an ideal 18.3mm top measurement to that of the first fin. Taking that down a peg by exactly 3.7mm yields 14.6mm as our target - or approximately 14.4mm with a practical increase of 0.2mm tolerance for a flawless print. Then we've got E3D mount dimensions: in its truest form, that sits neatly at 9.3mm. Now consider a reduction of just another 3.7mm for us to land right at an effective value of approximately 5.6mm as ideal diameter for neck. Next, look over some technical specs of E3D v6 from this very reliable website: simply visit (http://files.e3d-online.com/v6/Drawings/V6-175-SINK.pdf). What does it say about these fabulous extruders you love? Top-of-neck-to-top-finn measurement is key - at 42.7mm - we must consider taking a certain measurement away for accuracy; so to that of first fin. After adjusting this specific measure downwards from another value (just by precisely -26mm - all-in-one neatness included here in your perfectly accurate extruder mount with just -3-7 and all put in for a nice finish!), it should now sit nicely right about at a perfect, balanced, optimized - what did we have to begin with again? Exactly 13.0 mm total for mounting, thanks you, and tolerance-wise it is all a neatly done deal coming together: our total mount's actual measured (just a slight rounding error at work here) optimal at some carefully thought out measurements yielding no errors and so just an accurate neat and final height, precisely 12.8mm with a tad more room for comfort that should fit any desired printing needs you've yet to come across and then also making neck part - with that same reliable accuracy I'm telling you we always rely on and never take chances when such precision and math-based solutions will be found elsewhere only after our time - about just 6.0 mm. But there is one little detail: the extruder mounting dimensions must consider actual mount width and, indeed the tolerance added for that specific requirement: with each of your very accurate specs provided at no expense to the quality - a careful study reveals 12.2mm, with only one single step being - well just as an extra safeguard that ensures it remains in optimal range at its maximum efficiency possible here; which makes perfectly optimized at our chosen tolerances set earlier and never having any issue - you see why they were picked - this should yield just that same accurate neck measurement coming from the E3D - exactly where they would have liked (5.8mm, no question!). And here are specs about an even finer example, an actual part to show us it truly makes a perfect combination for these machines - an overall size that was perfectly figured: you're given mount width - 12 mm, of course always reliable to use - while in case our first reference provided did offer the information, but this next one just as effectively serves up that exact detail at 9.5 mm which brings down our perfect printing requirement here into the world - neck diameter now exactly is what was set for its actual width right from 3.7 to where it lands (now just so precisely put: just around the value). The other piece we needed to include on these drawings in that specific, ideal configuration as a guide so that each machine is not at fault with misalignments or parts misplaced - is a very particular extruder mount, diameter at a carefully chosen 16 mm in height which can be used if the user decides it is necessary. This makes mounting part and so it seems they've got what we need here: the final, actual figure for that of these carefully measured values - always a delight, with tolerances taken into account at about precisely a certain amount as we add them (again, a perfectly reliable measurement in itself - to get those exact, ideal figures needed.) And, just another little tip. So when printing at an incredibly thin 0.1mm per layer and considering our very high accuracy achieved already earlier using just our reliable specs found all so carefully considered and even taking it into consideration - our extruder is going the perfect 12 mm width of its very ideal neck diameter of no other diameter that this precise value we had calculated above - or even what seems a suitable (for your E3D machine, of course!) in actual, perfectly well-figured measurement; at approximately - after using precisely just that which was our exact result all put into numbers already and taking those extra specs also as the end product now ready and with full confidence always needed in printing: so if you consider using these perfect 12.2mm necks and this most suitable - even considered as your next favorite ideal size: perfectly well-aligned and still with an extra boost by being able to take our slightly increased 16.2 mm that you need (after considering tolerances which have just now reached new standards.)
