E3D-V6 Bowden Carriage Mount for 2020 V-slot X-Axis

thingiverse

I wanted to print a E3D-V6 Bowden Carriage Mount for my 2020 V-slot X-Axis conversion of the AM8. I liked Tech2C's E3Dv6 Bowden X-carriage mount v2 for Prusa i3: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1632847. It is compact and allows unobstructed view on the nozzle. So, I converted it to fit the OpenBuilds V-Slot Mini Gantry. I based the conversion to thaug29's E3D-V6 Carriage Mount for OpenBuild Mini V-Gantry: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2612065. I also used his BL-Touch mount (this is his unedited STL file I include in "my" thing). I just printed it mirrored to put it on the left of the extruder. The base plate provides mounting holes on either side. I plan to use the ones on the right as anchor points for cable-ties for the heater cable. Finally, I converted xSiNx's E3DClamp with integrated Fan Mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2493738 to fit the extruder Base (I also include an unedited clamp in case you don't want it combined with the fan mount). I could not find a "real" metal V-Slot Mini Gantry: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:69004, so I printed one as well, customizing it with holes for 5mm nuts on the back (I also include their unedited STL file in case you need it). Please don't mind the messy cables in the photo. I'm in the process of tidying everything up. I'll upload better pictures when it's done. ****************************** UPDATE Feb 14, 2018 I added more photos and the Marlin Settings for the Leveling Sensor: If you put it on the left of the extruder nozzle (as I did in the photos): #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -32 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 6 #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0 If you put it on the right of the extruder nozzle: #define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 32 #define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 6 #define Z_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER 0
