Prusa/Hictop Universal Mount Adapter. MPCNC HicWic Universal to Prusa X Carriage

thingiverse

This adapter shifts the nozzle from stock location approximately +40mm on Y axis, and +20mm on X. OK, so I wanted to mount a cheap spindle motor on my fairly rigid (aluminum extruded frame) Hictop/Prusa i3 3D Printer for light engraving/milling. While I was thinking of a mount design, I realized I had already printed an excellent design for my 4'x8' MPCNC project in the garage! The HicWic universal adapter is rigid enough for milling wood and such, so why not light duty work on a much smaller machine? Not to mention all of the already designed mounts for various other tools and quick-changeability! Here it is. You're welcome. Download this X-Carriage adapter to easily mount HicWic's 525 Universal Mount Version C (23.5mm conduit). Remember to print the 525 C version of the mount body (UniversalMount525-C-_23.5_v2). I made this mount match the original design, including required hardware. I used the same parts I had already acquired for my MPCNC project. So, if you've already got an MPCNC, or are building one, you should already have piles of M3.5 or #6 machine screws. I used #6-32 screws and nylock nuts. Let me know if your metric nuts do not fit. Required Hardware: 4x #6-32 machine screws and nylock nuts (metric M3.5x20) 12x M4x8 to mount carriage (should already have them on your current carriage) 4x M3x16 screws and nylock nuts for securing the sliders The MK8 extruder mount pictured is composed of the following: The slider from toownky's thing:1237075 The holder & blower from jwood2's thing:1470280 For additional information on the Universal Mount, please see HicWic's original thing:1234989 Post any questions in comments.
