If you have made this thing and find it is useful, a lot of filament being wasted together with time and effort being put in to produced this design. Please consider leaving a tip. Thanks! My new design E3D v6 clone x-carriage for Anet A6 which I like call it ZEUS X-Carriage. Through numerous trial and error, from filament jams and clogging of nozzle. This is the final designed I came out that works flawlessly with any filament I throw at it. And this x-carriage is designed for e3d v6 clone with full metal throat. This X-Carriage E3D v6 Heat sink must be cooled using 2 powerful 30mm with 15mm thick cooling fan installed in a Push Pull configuration to PREVENT jamming experienced by numerous user. This is a modular x carriage design and it is designed to be used as direct drive or bowden. It has the mount for the following extruder or configuration:- 1. Direct Drive with 3d printed Hercules Btech dual drive Extruder with 3 to 1 Gear reduction ratio. Extruder and mount can be downloaded from: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3322659 2. Direct Drive with 3d Printed NSTT Extruder with 3 to 1 Gear reduction ratio. Extruder can be downloaded from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2090259 3. Direct Drive with E3D Titan extruder with 3 to 1 gear reduction ratio. 4. Direct Drive with Anet A6 Stock Extruder (Mk8 Extruder) 5. Bowden setup. The best part of this X-Carriage is it does not need to be dismantled from the X-Axis in order to change from direct drive to bowden or any of the configuration stated above. This make it easy to unclog your nozzle or swap out another hotend when you had some issue and get your printer up and running fast. Also include a BL Touch mount for those who want to use BL touch auto bed levelling. Marlin firmware BL Touch probe offset setting: define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -29 define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER +27 Extruder e_step for stock extruder define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 100, 100, 400, 95 } for e3d Titan or NSTT extruder and extruder stepper must rotate in reversed define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 100, 100, 400, 422.53 } 3d printed bushing for this x-carriage can be obtained here https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2766583 The included circular fan duct works for both standard hot end or volcano hot end Printing benchy in ABS with 0.2mm Layer height, 2 perimeter, and 2 top and 2 bottom layer.
