This is a replacement i3v X Carriage and Fan Shroud for MakerFarm's i3v printer. A direct replacement model removes eccentric movement with a sliding mount, providing a superior fit over the original no eccentric option. I recommend using this alternative, which boasts an overall design featuring a single piece that offers immense structural stability, ideal for PETG or ABS printing. Four large holes are integrated to enable effortless cable management and streamlined appearance. Simply run cables out of the back or side, maintaining cleanliness while fostering optimal airflow over the cold end. This versatile carriage also supports auto bed leveling and boasts compatibility with Hexagon, Pico hotends, including a modified 20mm longer variant. In addition to auto bed leveling, this advanced X Carriage offers extensive features, such as rear-mounted LED lighting and substantial room for high-CFM cooling fan installations, which further enhance performance and functionality. Its single-piece design makes it ideal for stiff support in a compact form factor. One convenient feature is the four large holes designed for effective wire management. This ensures cable organization remains tidy and streamlined while fostering enhanced airflow over the cold end area. By utilizing these spacious mounting options, cables can be routed either out of the back or side, guaranteeing effortless cleanliness alongside exceptional ventilation across this zone. When using a material fan with this setup, be aware that it necessitates a high-quality 10+ CFM fan for seamless operation. Now to assembling: retain your Derlin wheels and axels during reinstallation. When securing the main fan assembly, choose not to rely on magnetic hold downs; screw fasteners work flawlessly.
