E3D Chimera / Cyclops dual extrusion upgrade for K8200 / 3Drag

thingiverse

This upgrade turns the K8200/3Drag into a dual extrusion printer. It consists of an E3D Chimera/Cyclops mount, which includes integration with a 40x40 fan. The distance bolts allow air to flow around the heat sink. This mount is independent of any extruder mounting design. In my case, I use two BulldogXL extruders, and the corresponding mounts are included here. To mount a BulldogXL, please look at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qg05LnyRInQ. The black gear box covers need to be replaced by the BulldogXL mounts. The BulldogXL mounts each have three mounting holes, and it's up to you to secure them with one or two screws each, depending on how many screws/square nuts you have. To connect the PTFE tubes, you'll need E3D bowden adaptors.
