CTC E3D Flexi-conduit Mod

thingiverse

I remixed the E3D V6 Hotend Mount - Single Version - with 40mm Fan - CTC / Makerbot Replicator / Flashforge by swestru to attach a 15mm diameter flexi-conduit for thermocouple, fan and heater wires. The design also accommodates other wires like print cooling fans and LEDs. I used a round file to remove some support in the large holes, allowing the flexi-conduit to freely swivel within the extruder head and bowden bracket. Adjust your 3D printer's firmware to account for the extruder nozzle's new position in the middle of the carriage. The filament stepper motor drive bracket is a remix from Rear Stepper Motor Mount for Bowden by Admant77, with two additional screw holes added at the back of the CTC printer to secure it. The center screw on the CTC back panel remains loose since it will be underneath the bracket. Everything should fit together, but mileage may vary; remember to print the stepper motor hold down strap as well. I also created a cable clip for attaching the 4mm PTFE filament tube to the 15mm Flexi-conduit, which keeps things tidy and organized.
