E3D/BLTOUCH Mount for FolgerTech Stock Extruder on an FT5.

thingiverse

I upgraded my Folger Tech FT-5 with an E3D Lite hot end and BLTOUCH sensor, requiring a custom mount to secure both components. After several design iterations, I created a holder that positions the E3D input directly adjacent to the MK9 extruder's output hole on the left side of the pressure lever. This setup is now in place on my Folger Tech FT-5. For my FT 2020 i3, which features the lever on the right, I hypothesize that a mirrored design could achieve similar results without any modifications. To fabricate this mount, I utilized ESUN PLA+ due to its heat-resistant properties, ensuring a stable fit in this area of the machine.
