PrecisionPiezo Orion Nimble Mount for Creality Printers

thingiverse

This is a mount designed specifically for the Creality CR-10 family of 3D printers (and others with identical X carriage configurations) that integrates seamlessly with the PrecisionPiezo Orion Z probe and a Zesty Nimble remote direct extruder. To assemble this mount, you will need to acquire a PrecisionPiezo Orion. I highly recommend purchasing the [GrooveMount Kit](https://www.precisionpiezo.co.uk/product-page/precision-piezo-orion-kit) from PrecisionPiezo and simply replace the existing top part with the new one provided in the kit. Alternatively, you can opt to buy the PCB directly from PrecisionPiezo, print out the groove clamp using [this STL file](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2841681), which is identical to the one included in the GrooveMount Kit, and then configure the wiring accordingly. In addition to the PrecisionPiezo Orion, you will also need a [Zesty Nimble](https://zesty.tech/products/the-nimble?variant=31732311297) extruder for this setup. Furthermore, an [E3Dv6](https://e3d-online.com/v6-all-metal-hotend) or compatible hot end is required. Materials Needed: * 4 countersunk M3x16mm screws (identical to those included in the PrecisionPiezo kit) * 2 cap head M3x6mm screws for securing the mount to the carriage * 2 M3 hex nuts to secure the Nimble I have included two STL files: one for the mount and another for a base plate designed specifically for the Zesty Nimble extruder. Simply place the latter under the extruder piece so that it sits flush with the mount. If you decide to print and use this mount, I would be delighted if you could share pictures of your project and provide feedback in the comments section!
