E3D Cyclops - Chimera Ormerod 2 Hotend Mount

thingiverse

I've created another hotend mount for my Ormerod 2, Cyclops and Chimera Hotend Single Head 2 Color Mixing Extruder. The design is available on eBay at http://www.ebay.com/itm/281909939997?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT. This mount uses the original bedlevel systems and screws directly into the x-carriage. The height of the bracket depends on the X-carriage model and heatbrakes used, so I've provided different heights to accommodate various setups. I've also tested with and without PTFE tubing to ensure compatibility. After purchasing an E3D Kraken Double Nozzle Throat Tube Pipes Water-cooled for 1.75m 3D printer from powge on eBay, I had to adjust the bracket height by 3mm due to the absence of Teflon. If you need a higher or lower bracket, please let me know. You can modify the design using Sketchup Pro 2015 skp if needed. The fanhouse and mounting bracket are borrowed from markdoll01's design on Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1005956), with minimal changes to ensure a better fit. I've found that this hotend works exceptionally well, just like the original E3D V6 Orginal, which I consider one of the best hotends I've tried. If you're interested in using this design, be sure to acquire the appropriate parts for your hood from Thingiverse (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1147660) and use 3mm plexi with a bathroom fan. If you like this design, please show your appreciation by liking it.
