E3D Extruder Motor Mount

thingiverse

This is an extruder motor mount designed by me specifically for use with an E3D extruder. It takes the place of the standard spacer that holds the LED board in position on top of the frame. I've also included a photo of my filament holder mod, which I created to enhance printing performance. To secure the rod, I drilled a 5/16-inch hole in the upper bracket and used the original rod along with a few extra nuts. The added weight of the filament roll actually improved print quality by reducing vibration in the frame. Since then, I've printed a spacer that fits snugly over the rod and nuts to give my filament holder a neater look. UPDATE: I've uploaded the file for the new spacer and included a clearer photo showing how it mounts to the existing components.
