So here is the latest re-imagining of this mount! #Summary: - "Superlite" design up to 30% lighter weight than my other mount at same settings! 48% less weight if both are printed at the settings recommended. (See images, weight of clamp alone) - Slightly more work to print, needs lots of support, lots of round shapes and thin walls. - Use 1.2mm walls and floors. .4mm nozzle and .2mm steps and 15% infill with PLA recommended. - Includes mounting for dual 30mm (stock E3D) fans or single 60mm. Recommend 60x10mm fan for reduced weight and size with increased airflow. - Superlite carriage now included along with the original one. Superlite carriage comes with another 25% weight savings over the old design! - Using all Superlite parts you should come out 36 grams lighter! - Looks great! I'm proud of the way this design came out. - Get the chain here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3179124 - Spacers.stl has BLTouch and cooling fan spacers in it. - See "Post Printing" below for detailed install instructions! - See https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3199724 for a calibration! See it and the fan adapter printed here: https://youtu.be/5FGoBxFewpc This came about after some tweaks on the others and a reprint. A lion mount clamp from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3017123 has been made lighter by 18 grams, which is just the clamp. The back carriage really is as light as I am comfortable making it. Update 10/17/18 Made it a little lighter yet and re-rendered it on the more powerful computer! PINK! Update 10/18/18 OK i was disappointed with the first run weight savings so I went back and took out tons more. Now it should be about 40% lighter per CURA. Should also be very strong. Update 10/19/18 Printed! And yeah, that's just the clamp, the back carriage really is as light as I am comfortable making it. Update 11/3/18 Made the band in the second extruder more narrow to add 0.5mm up and down travel for height adjustment. Added the spacers file I completely forgot about. Added post printing install instructions as I put mine together.
