FolgerTech FT-5 Extruder Mount

thingiverse

This is a design for the gantry on the Folgertech FT5. It consists of two separate pieces, one top section which includes the front and back as one single assembly, and then the bottom piece that is removable for easy assembly. The top section has a mounting location for the BL touch. It's designed to work with the E3D V6 and Titan printers using a pancake stepper motor. You can purchase a full-size Nema 17 mount on Amazon at https://www.amazon.com/Bipolar-Motor-18Ncm-25-5oz-17HS10-0704S/dp/B01LESPDCQ/ref=sr_1_12?srs=11378673011&ie=UTF8&qid=1487103078&sr=8-12&keywords=Nema+17. There is now an updated version of this design that works with the full-size 40mm long stepper motor. The mounts are intended to be printed on either their top or the side opposite of the BL Touch mount. If you choose to use a 25mm body pancake stepper, make sure to adjust the voltage on the driver to a safe level. I currently have my A4988 Stepper Drivers set at 500 mv, but if you don't lower the reference voltage it may cause the new motor to overheat and soften the newly printed mount if you're using PLA. A Layer Fan can also be used with this design and is available on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1856623. Another great fan option is also available on Thingiverse at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1746358. Print Settings: Printer: Folgertech FT-5 Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: 0.2 Infill: 30-50%
