E3D V5 hotend easy maintenance carriage for Felix 3D printer

thingiverse

This hot-end carriage is designed for E3D V5 hot-ends on Felix 3D printers version 1.5 and above, but can be adjusted for other printers. It's specifically made for the V5 version; the V4 won't fit. The carriage comes with cool ribs printed inside a PLA clamp. For the V6 version, use this design: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:484581. Use 40mm fans (not the E3D supplied 30mm fan) for better cooling and less noise, as these come standard with Felix printers. The carriage is a two-part design, paired with the Bowden feeder (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159159). Watch this video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsNm0UfQsyQ) for instructions on use.
