UPDATE 10-21-2015: New Design Files Available Now. Fresh solidpart files and STL files have been added for your convenience. These updates come after refining our design, which has significantly enhanced strength and simplicity of printing with the locking mechanism. UPDATE 05-21-2015: Photo Renders Added. For better visualization, photo renders have been included in our package. E3D V6 Hotend Mount Details Revealed. This unique hotend mount is engineered to pair perfectly with the standard Prusa i3 X-axis carriage system. Two versions of this mount are available: a hexagon-based option and a squared one. Using these mounts together, I successfully combined them with an E3D V6 clone from China and a P3Steel printer. Notable results included excellent compatibility with the Chinese hotend model, thanks in large part to the well-crafted design of the mounted assembly components. Each component includes a locking mechanism to keep everything securely fastened in place throughout your 3D printing process. Key features of the hexagon mount are notable here as it offers users greater design versatility due to lack of integrated lock parts - just grab any compatible lock and install it with ease onto either mounts or choose not at all!
