MDD v1.3 BMG Extruder Dual 5015 Fan Gantry Plate Adapter

thingiverse

Here is my first upload/work in progress so any constructive comments would be appreciated! This is a gantry plate that allows you to mount the following onto a PrinterMods V1.3 gantry plate in a simple compact setup (on an Ender 3 V2 - Not tested on other printers): - V6 Hotend fitted with a BMG direct drive extruder (or clones) - BL-Touch (or clone) - Dual 5015 fans The plate mounts onto the gantry in a similar way to the standard MDD v1.3 BMG extrduer design but utilises the bolt used for the gantry wheel. I have added an extra mounting hole which you could use if you cannot use the gantry wheel bolt. A clip has been added to the top which provides a nice place to zip-tie cables for efffective strain relief, not found on the MDD v1.3 original. You'll need to buy the MDD v1.3 kit to fit this plate and it should come with the relevant mounting equipment, this is what I believe I used. 3 x 50mm M3 bolts 5+ M3 bolts Bolts to mount your BL/3D-touch Various small M3 bolts for fitting fan ducts/fans onto the gantry plate. Cable ties are handy to connecting the cables to the cable mount The fan ducts can be found on PrinterMods website, print the original and use you slicer to print a mirrored one for the other side. You also need to print a small gantry plate spacer, which is required to hit the X-endstop BEFORE your fan crashes into the X-axis stepper motor, you may have to adjust your travel limits on firmware, but I found this actually improves alignment of you nozzle with the bed in comparison to the orignal MDD v1.3 setup. You have to mount the BL/3D-touch with the cables facing you, this fits nicely with the curve of the fan duct. Finally I am NOT an engineer, so use this at your own risk. You are ultimately responsible for not damaging your printer/house/health.
