Geeetech Carriage Compatible Groove Mount v2 with Servo Mount

pinshape

Version 2 of the Geeetech Carriage Compatible Groove Mount has been upgraded with two different extruder mounts, top and bottom. The top mount allows for even lower nozzle positioning, while the bottom mount reduces nozzle protrusion. This design emphasizes maximizing z-axis height to minimize calibration needs when switching between stock and E3D nozzles. Extra screws are required for mounting the extruder, especially from the bottom, where four M4 screws/bolts are needed. A compatible fanduct is also suggested. The mount holes are designed specifically for Geeetech x-carriage compatibility, but not for vanilla or other variants. For reference, visit http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:886515 for x-carriage compatible extruder mounts. Feedback and suggestions are welcome to improve this design. An E3D V6 has been fitted successfully; view the fitting process on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bqfmADIjP2k&list=PLb7sKitt_N_CRhatUqbEtEncIshFv4Ro6&index=2. UPDATE 26TH JUNE 2015: A servo mount, fastener base, and fastener servo have been added to enable auto bed leveling systems. The dimensions are based on the Sky Tower Pro Servo, with a body measuring 23 x 13 x 8 (from the mount to cable outlet) and a mount width of 33mm. UPDATE 28TH JUNE 2015: Small adjustments were made to the servo mount for a snug fit. UPDATE 5/8/2015: An inductive sensor add-on is available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:956051. Instructions: This extruder mount can be used with bowden or direct drive setups. For direct drive, print the extruder.stl to mount your MK8 extruder onto this mount, requiring an additional four M4 screws for secure placement. Before printing, rotate the parts for optimal structure integrity with minimal support needed. The bottom mount uses more plastic to ensure rigidity and motor weight support.
