UPDATE 3/20/2019 - Extended screw tabs for better grip in a closed loop design. Download TABBED.STL. Special thanks to Robert Banhegyi @ https://www.thingiverse.com/Rbanh for feedback. UPDATE 3/19/2019 - Redesigning mount points as per user suggestion. Recommend waiting until redesign is complete. UPDATE 1/19/2019 - COMPLETELY REDESIGNED: Fixed mounting plate tight tolerances on ENDER 3, added front plate and details matching Sedor Sosnin's mod set: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3183669 This mod has come a long way over two months and will soon be a standalone design. Removed original .STL due to issues with rough design, now more refined and stable as it sits on gantry mount with second mount point. -Printed in PLA -Layers: 0.14 -Tested at 60% Infill -Supports at 10% density with 0.2 gap -Set support density too high! You have been warned. -Check print orientation pics A NOTE on Bullseye cooler: Trimming ear by left hand screw allows more space between mod and cooler mount, sits perfectly on carrier plate. NOTE: Connect hotend to Extruder via small portion of Bowden tube between Pneumatic couplings. Thread screws through slots in gantry wheels and tighten in place. This mount is tested around Petsfang Bullseye: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439 - All other parts are stock. NOTE 2: Retune profiles as you've lost about 10 inches of Bowden tube, may affect e-steps calibration. Does mod make a difference in prints? Maybe, maybe not, but it's fun to try.
