Since no perfect fit was available for my preferences, I created my own simple and lightweight rock-solid e3d v6 mount. An M12 and M18 auto leveling proximity sensor was also added, configured to reach the hotbed so it can be used as an end switch. A radial fan and fan duct were included as well. Led lighting with a diameter of 5mm was installed, along with a chain connection using an um2 open chain. A gt2 belt holder was also added. Changes made include adding two linear bearing blocks on the down side, requiring M4 threading, and turning down the X endstop switch. Any 5mm diameter white led will do, but I suggest using a wide angle 90°+ with a luminous intensity of 1500+ mcd. The 3.2_12mm mod includes a 12mm proximity sensor integrated with a fan duct to prevent it from falling down.
