Prusa Bear X-End & Direct Big Brain 3D Mount

thingiverse

This remix combines elements of the Prusa Bear X-End for Purge Mechanism by Hotpocketdeath and the Retractable Purge Mechanism by BigBrain3D. Since the original Bear X-End is not compatible with the BigBrain3D mount, I decided to create a direct mount instead of using the mount above the POM Nut designed by BigBrain3D. The goal is for this design to support a direct mount on a Prusa Bear with a BMG extruder, but it can eventually be adapted to work with any extruder. I chose M4 cap head screws to attach the bracket to the X-End for added stability. Please note that this has not been tested on an actual printer yet, as my BigBrain3D parts have not arrived, and I don't want to disassemble my working Bear until they do. I anticipate further modifications will be necessary to make this work properly, possibly including adjustments to the BigBrain3D Action Arm. I am sharing this design because several people have requested it before I completed and tested it. Additionally, I am providing my Fusion360 archive file and individual STEP files for anyone who wants to build upon this idea or address any potential flaws in my design.
