E3d hotend adapter for Craftbot

thingiverse

These three printed parts allow for an easy adaptation of a Craftbot to a E3d hotend. The design has been fine-tuned through many revisions to achieve the current result. Although I have not thoroughly tested this design yet, initial results are promising, hence it is labeled as "work in progress." The three printed components include: A bracket that secures the hotend and repositions its base away from the carriage, giving extra space. A flexible filament guide similar to Scott Booker's creation. Its primary purpose is to support PTFE tubes running into the heatsink while also allowing for flexible filaments' usage. This design incorporates a hole at the top for easy access and accommodates the tube throughout. A Z-axis offset block which can be easily mounted on top of the end stop tab, pushing it back further down than usual due to increased length from the hotend. Please note that the filament guide's layout was inspired by Scotbee's model found on Thingiverse.
