E3D V5 hotend easy maintenance carriage for Felix 3D printer

cults3d

This is a hot-end carriage designed for compatibility with the E3D V5 (http://e3d-online.com/) hot-end on the Felix 3D printer (1.5 and up). The carriage is specifically engineered for the felix Printer, but can be easily adapted to other printers as well by simply attaching two bolts against the rails. The design takes into account the unique requirements of the V5 version, and will not fit with the earlier V4 model. To maximize cooling performance while minimizing noise, this carriage utilizes 40mm fans - a feature that comes standard on the felix printer. This is a two-part design, consisting of the hot-end carriage and the Bowden feeder. The latter can be found at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:159159. For further guidance on setting up the carriage and bowden feeder in use, viewers can refer to an instructional video available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZsNm0UfQsyQ. Special thanks are extended to Guillaume from Felix printers for providing the rail-base used in this design. Users who choose to utilize this carriage are encouraged to share a picture of their setup.
