P3Steel / Prusa i3 E3D hotend Bowden mount

thingiverse

This is an E3D-style hotend that I am actually using one of the inexpensive E3D V5 "made in China" clones for. It's a Bowden mount for any P3Steel or Prusa i3 variant that uses an X-carriage with standard 30mm M3 hole spacing. A video can be found here showing a Prusa i3 Twelvepro printing with this Bowden setup: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-Wi_hV2lTlI The OpenSCAD source is included for all the parts, so you can further remix the thing. This thing is licensed under the GPLV3, and its terms require that any remixes be published with modified sources and copyright and license intact. The layer fan assembly is a previous development and available here: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:540716 Instructions: I printed this thing in blue PLA with 40% infill. You will need a few M3 bolts and nuts to assemble it. The E3D body fan duct requires a 40mm 12V fan which must be connected directly to the 12V power supply - in other words, it has to be running at full speed during the entire print session.
