Please consider making a small donation through PayPal if you find this design useful. Drop-in E3D Mount for modified Davinci Printers. This design will not work with stock printer hardware or firmware, as there is no provision for the sensor board. Inspired by the Prusa hotend mount design, I created this unit with similar lines. Print in ABS or a similar material. PLA is not recommended due to its proximity to the hot-end. The pieces do not have to be overly strong, so 0.25mm, 2 perimeters, 3 top and bottom layers, with 20% infill, will suffice. The unit drops into the existing carriage and is secured by two screws. The rear fan cools the part during printing, and unlike most designs, the duct routes inside the carriage toward the part being cooled. The air stream has been adjusted to limit the cooling of the hot-end, but a silicone sock is recommended. Use Part C for a 40mm radial fan or Part C2 for a 30mm axial fan. Unless your printer excels at bridging, use simple supports when printing these parts. If you intend to use a sensor mount for auto bed levelling, etc., the carriage will need two holes drilled to accommodate. I have included the original CAD design. Please ensure you credit me in any remixes.
