E3D V6 Mount for GeeeTech Prusa i3 Pro X

thingiverse

Because I couldn't find any mount for an E3D V6 (direct drive) that would fit on my GeeeTech Prusa i3 Pro X, I decided to design one myself. Design Objectives: * The new mount must fit seamlessly onto the existing X carriage. * As many old parts as possible should be reused to minimize waste and maximize efficiency. * The loss in Z height should be minimal, ideally less than 15 mm. * The outer shape of Part i3B1-30 should remain unchanged to accommodate existing attachments. * Simplicity is key – the design should be straightforward and easy to implement. Additional Notes: * A fan mount is available on Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2763717 for reference. * I used a hotend model from Thingiverse (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:341689) as a starting point. * Despite the redesign, there's still a slight loss in Z height of about 15 mm. * Mounting the new design is challenging due to limited space and poorly placed screws on Part i3B1-29. * A revised part i3B1-29 could potentially solve these issues and make assembly easier. * The new hotend design is slightly lighter than its original counterpart, weighing in at approximately 11 grams less.
