MyMaki Hotend Mount LB for E3D on Makibox

youmagine

This version prints with ease, but takes considerable time to assemble and lacks reversibility. Unless you have a compelling reason to prefer this variant, opt for the one available on Thingiverse. I printed in PLA with 20% infill, achieving a lightweight yet solid result. The E3D-v5's top remains cool during printing, so I'm not concerned about the PLA softening. Other hot-end designs might necessitate the use of ABS. To ensure optimal performance, you'll need to produce an extremely precise print. Verify that the pieces fit together seamlessly and glide effortlessly on the rods before adding the bearings. You can utilize between 0 and 4 bearings; my best results came from using two, positioned closest to the home position. The bearing fit is intentionally tight. If customization is required, I'll direct you to the relevant pages on TinkerCAD. Assemble the mount and E3D first. Next, remove the right-hand side panel, take out the rods from the drive blocks, place the fully assembled mount on the intact set of rods, and slide the removed set through the mount and back into the drive blocks. Check that the ride is smooth; once satisfied, reassemble the right side panel.
