Dual V6 Bowden for Vslot Mini Wheel

thingiverse

A fusion of various carriage designs, this dual extruder carriage is specifically tailored for DBOT/CBOT printers or any Vslot X gantry-equipped printer. It relies on Mini Wheels and standard mounting hardware from dbot. Two V6 hotends are required, along with either genuine or knockoff bowden fittings. However, the clearance may be a concern with knockoffs, but it should still fit. For belt mounting, everything was quite tight, so cutouts were made to accommodate this carriage. Small zip ties can be used instead of clamps; simply feed the belts around them. The sensor employed is an inductive 4mm type, measuring 12mm in diameter. Rear blowers feature a squirrel cage design, measuring approximately 50mm. Cable chain components are taken from Spauda01's original design, with only a mounting bracket added. Note that trimming may be necessary for wheel clearance; full-size V wheels will not clear, but mini VWheels should fit. The light bar requires slow printing with a fan, especially when using PETG, to prevent melting as higher layers are completed. A 1cm x 30cm LED strip can be cut down to about 7.5 cm and mounted using both tape and adhesive for a sleek look when powered up. A mounting point for the X endstop has yet to be determined; it's likely that it will be attached to the gantry, with this carriage bumping into it.
