E3D V6 mount for CTC Prusa i3 Pro B (original mk7 style extruder)

thingiverse

A minimalist hot end mount designed specifically for use with an E3D V6 J-head on a CTC Prusa i3 Pro B and its original extruder, similar to the Stepstruder mk7 clone. The mount features a front extension for attaching an optional radial fan. This design will likely work on any Prusa i3, given that carriage mount screw holes have standard 30mm spacing. However, I'm unsure about how the CTC extruder compares to a real mk7 in terms of filament hole placement; if you try it with another extruder, please let me know in the comments. To assemble this design, use M3 screws for everything. Mount the stepper motor with 16mm screws, and any screws 20mm or longer (with nuts) will suffice for mounting the hot end. I suspect that a real E3D V6 has a fitting at the top for a PTFE tube even on direct drive models; I might create an update with an additional STL file to accommodate this.

I printed mine with PETG; you might want to reduce the hole size (default is 3.35mm for M3 screws) if you're using a higher-precision material or printer.
