Nimble V1 adapter for Smart Effector

Nimble V1 adapter for Smart Effector

This adapter is specifically designed to mount the Nimble on the new PCB effector that Escher3D is developing with Think3dPrint3d, using a novel hot end mount developed by E3D. Have a look at the new effector here. Simply bolt the adapter to the hot end mount and then bolt the Nimble to the adapter. In case your printer is in pieces or you prefer perfect precision, you can also get this adapter via Shapeways. Edit 1: Added Version 2 to the models. The method of attaching the Hot end to the PCB effector has changed, so the mounting method of the adapter needs to change. It is now done with 6.6 mm standoffs. The adapter fits on top of the hot end and has a 5 mm deep hole in the bottom for the PTFE tube. Edit 2: Added a little pipe holder for use with a Berd-Air like part cooling system. It uses Magnetic ball bolts to clamp it to the PCB and has a little rest for the tubing. Edit 3: The standoff of 6.6 mm was not enough, needed to be 7.6 mm. So changed the files to reflect this and you now need version V2.1 if you want the integrated legs. Edit 4: Added version V2.2. The only difference is that the leg closest to the 6 wire black plug is lowered to be below the latch or clip of the plug, thus making it easier to unlatch and less prone to breaking. Edit 5: Added version V2.4. I followed DJDemonD's suggestion and added a 12 sided hole in the bottom to lock the hot end mounting nut in place. Also added a split version, with Top and Bottom half, so it can be printed and then glued together. The Nimble Extruder is available from Zesty Technology, weighing less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector, making it the smallest and lightest extruder you can buy. It has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations.
