V-Slot Openbuilds Mini Gantry Direct Drive Extruder mount

thingiverse

This is a mount designed to operate a Direct Drive Extruder on the Openbuilds Mini Gantry. Install 4 three-millimeter nuts in the cavities provided in the Direct Drive Mount (DDM). Bolt the DDM to the Gantry using the Gantry mounting screws furnished. Attach the NEMA 17 Motor to the Motor Mount (MM) using three-millimeter screws that are thirty to forty millimeters long through the back of the mount into the motor frame. Edit: A V-2 version of the NEMA mount has been added, which is a thicker design allowing for the use of a full-length screw. It's suggested to print both and use the one that works best. Attach the MM to the DDM using three-millimeter screws. Credit goes to Jason (therippa) for originating this concept.
