This older solution may not be as effective as desired. Check out this alternative for a more complete kit: [Nimble V1 print head for Creality type](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3558524). For the print head kit for the Nimble Version 2 family, have a look at [Nimble and Sidewinder V2 mounts for the Creality type print heads](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3925473). Complex mount to attach the Nimble extruder and an E3D V6 hot end to the Creality CR-10. This is based on the work done by Chito on this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2494642. There are various fan mounts, including a mount for the Berd-Air system. There are two sensor options available, a BL Touch and an Ezable. If you need additional sensors, please send me a message. The mount is attached to the carriage plate using 2 mount points and a screw that slides into the threaded hole in the plate. The required screw is an M3x6 and can be tightened through the mount body. If you encounter any issues or have comments about this thing, feel free to contact me. There is also a Nimble Sidewinder version available: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2663204. Edit 3: A BL Touch mount has been added for use on the Volcano hot end, as it is 8 mm taller. Edit2: Be cautious, the Fang style cooler probably will not fit. It will hit the cross bar at the top. Edit: There seems to be a fascination with fang style coolers in the CR-10 community. Anyway, you asked, we promised and delivered. Only caveat here is that I have not printed this thing out, so test at your own risk. I have added a fang style cooler and a special V6 clamp, and it now also holds the 40x40 fan for the V6 and the ducting to guide it to the heat-sink. The forces are split between the fang and the clamp. To mount, install the Mount, slide the Fang down into the grooves on the side and tighten the bolts through the Fang lightly. Then mount the V6, Clamp and the Nimble. Adjust the height of the Fang and tighten the 2 bolts. Mount the fan on top and mount the Hot end fan last. There is a little loop to tie-wrap the fan cable to the Clamp. Check the Fang height again and you are done. The STL models have been checked and optimized. The parts that need a different orientation to print properly are rotated to the preferred printing position. The Nimble Extruder has an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector, making it the smallest and lightest extruder available. It has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations. The Nimble is available from [Zesty Technology.](https://zesty.tech)
