Ender 3 BMG PrinterMods MDD Bracket

thingiverse

I'm dissatisfied with Printermods' configuration for a BMG + linear rail on X because it's impossible to secure all bolts in place, and even without the linear rail, their solution for attaching any hot end doesn't include any part cooling brackets. The original design here resolves this issue but won't fit on an Ender 3. It hits the left Z axis upright before the X axis is home. I employ a pancake stepper on the BMG (despite it appearing that a full-size one would still fit), so the back 20-30mm of the bracket is empty for me anyway. I shortened it up and angled the edges for visual appeal. I also removed the rear set of holes from the bracket that came with the BMG clone, mainly just to enhance aesthetics, as the full one would still fit (barely). This setup enables any stock style part cooling, including the MDD HeroMe mod by Michael @ TeachingTech, or really anything that mounts to the stock plate.
