Geeetech G2S Stock Effector Plate Dual E3D V6 Bowden Upgrade

thingiverse

This is my attempt at creating a custom mount for my Geeetech G2S printer to utilize dual E3D V6 hotends with a Bowden connection. I tried several other plates on this site, and while they are excellent designs, using them would cause my arms to no longer be parallel, so rather than continue adding fixes on top of each other, I decided to create a mount similar to the stock one that fits the new hotends. I strongly disliked the stock hotends that came with this printer. It was extremely difficult to level them without taking apart the entire thing. So far with this custom mount, you can only level them by placing a few shims between the top piece and the 'spider' piece. I use parts of cut-up paper. If anyone has suggestions, please let me know, as I have not designed many functional things and I'm new to delta designs (I normally use an i3), so I am sure there are things that I didn't account for. It simply uses M3 nuts and bolts just like the stock mount. V2: -Made two different clamps to fit better. You will need one of each. -Added screw and nut fittings in center of plates. V3: -Adjusted size of openings in both mounts V4: -Made bottom mount thicker to prevent vertical hotend movement -Removed clamps, not enough room to fit with heatsink fins -Added small caps to the lower mount to help prevent horizontal hotend movement --You will need to print two of the caps. Print Settings Printer: Prusa i3 Resolution: 0.1mm Infill: 40%+ Notes: Obviously, the more infill, the better. I am using PETG because I am out of ABS, but ABS is probably the best material for this printer.
