Speedy Bowden Hotend Mount for E3D V6

thingiverse

I don't have funds to get myself a new E3D V6 hotend, but I designed this one from scratch and a few parts I found online here. I call it the Speedy Bowden because it reminds me of a racer and it looks pretty cool to me. I have printed many hotend mounts and have literally pulled my hair out when none of them work for my cheap Chinese E3D v5 knockoff. For anyone with a 5mm neck, this should do the trick. It should be easy to put together and needs the following: 3 x M3x20 screws and 3 accompanying nuts 3 x M3x20 screws and their 3 accompanying nuts 2 x M4 x 25 screws (for the blower fan grills) Find yourself a cool thumbwheel for the M4 x20mm screw and it becomes quick fit. Look at the pictures and you should see it as speedy and easy. Thanks to darco for the fan duct. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:387301 SanderVII for the blower fan shroud https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2423265 P Suarof for the nice steering wheel at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1137546 I have also included a version with the handlebars attached to the lock for those who just don't have any M3x20 screws and accompanying nuts lying around. Print the first one Comments welcome. EDIT: OK printed it out and tried fitting it, easy enough, but holes need a bit of widening on the handlebars, which I will work on. I had trouble putting the M3x20 screws in to lock the neck lock because of the angle to the entrance of the mount hole. The screw slots need a little widening, just a tad too thin. Need to be skinnier too to hold the nut. Hey, it is a work in progress. Give me a break if you don't like it.
