Makerbot extruder clone sideways mount for Prusa i3

pinshape

This gadget lets you attach a Makerbot direct drive extruder clone to a Prusa i3 x carriage sideways, thus sparing as much Y print area as possible. Simply use the four holes to drill screws into the back of your stepper motor - you'll need slightly longer screws than what comes with it. The pegs on top and bottom are designed for securing wires in place using zip ties. A second file is included, featuring an optional fan mount for your extruder motor; I had a 14mm heat sink just lying around, so the spacing accommodates that size.
