E3D V6 Mount with Fan for CTC / Flashforge / Replicator

thingiverse

I wasn't really satisfied with the available E3D V6 Mounts for my CTC, so I created my own version. There are two versions available - they're all the same but different! I would hardly recommend V003 for single or V007 for dual setup. For assembly you will need four M3 nuts, two M3x30 screws (the head style doesn't matter, but the designs are for countersunk), two to four screws to mount the 40 mm fan, two M3x20 screws to mount the whole thing to the extruder carriage and one push-in fitting for the 4mm (OD) bowden tube. For the extruder I used the standard spring-loaded extruder and mounted it using the 000 parts on the back (the CTC already has the correct mounting holes). The current version for a single extruder conversion is V003. The current version for a dual extruder setup is V007 - you can choose to use my part cooler design or just use your own. The left hotend has around one millimeter play for height adjustment. Update February 7, 2016 I just added a .rar with all released models as .stp files Print Settings Printer CTC 3D Rafts No Supports Yes Resolution 0.2 Infill 25%, Four Shells Notes I only used support on the bridge part to keep the mounting for the hot end smooth Post-Printing The horizontal nozzle distance is thirty-six millimeters (in software, make sure to measure the actual value). You have to attach the extruder mount on the top-most position of the back panel of your printer - otherwise it may interfere with your spools/spool holder.
