V-Slot Printer Kit AttachmentThis attachment was born out of my personal obsession with tinkering, and I wanted to share it with the fantastic Thingiverse community. While there are similar options like Thingiverse #5818938 or Thingiverse #5874963 out there, they often involve screws, wobble around a bit, and come in separate pieces – not the most user-friendly experience.What Makes it Stand Out?This attachment is crafted specifically for the Anycubic Kobra Neo printer. It's designed to fit the handy tool slots that come with this printer. However, since these slots are pretty universal, you can also experiment with other 3D printers, especially those using V-Slot profiles like the Ender 3. There's even a nifty side compartment to keep those additional tools at your fingertips.Compatibility with a TwistAs mentioned before, this attachment is perfectly compatible with any printer using a V-Slot profile. It snaps right into place without the need for screws. Plus, it includes a filament catcher up top to prevent a messy workspace by catching stray filament droplets. No more wrestling with your printer, which, I admit, can be quite the hassle.See the V-Slot ProfileFor those wondering about the V-Slot profile, here's a helpful image:I want to mention that this is a personal project, (although inspired by the linked works above) and it's completely free for you to use and enjoy on Thingiverse. If you happen to find it incredibly useful and want to show some appreciation for my solo effort, well, that's always welcome!Happy 3D printing!
