E3D V6 bolt on mount for Solidoodle 4

thingiverse

The Solidoodle 4 has a distinct mounting arrangement compared to its predecessors, the Solidoodle 2 and 3. This design is heavily influenced by Zlagger's creation found at solidoodles.com/models/view/470. When assembling this unit, some users find it beneficial to eliminate excess material from various components in order to accommodate additional accessories such as side fans. For optimal performance, it's advisable to print Solidoodle parts with ABS material at 100% infill levels. The bolts used for the extruder mount in the SD4 design will typically be five millimeters short, necessitating longer replacements. M3 bolts measuring thirty millimeters appear suitable substitutes. Additionally, some users may choose to modify or shorten the spring slightly by removing one or two loops, a process that is relatively straightforward and does not compromise structural integrity. The primary assembly method still utilizes most of the original parts available with Solidoodle 4 hardware.
