Cyclops V6 X-Carriage Adapter (24mm) Prusa i3

thingiverse

I purchased a no-name cyclops-style hotend, but its bolt pattern - 24mm across and 14mm down - didn't match up with the OEM x-carriage. The vertical bolt pattern was not like the one used on the chimera. At first, I created an adapter plate to sandwich it to the OEM, which worked just fine. However, the replacement x-carriage offered a lot more Z clearance, a horizontal cable chain attachment, and a better endstop position. The 40mm fan attachment surprisingly flowed well, requiring no bolts at all; you simply slip the fan into the pocket and attach the housing to the adapter plate. I included the skp files for both models. If you have any ideas on how to improve this design, please share them - I'm happy to experiment!
