CTC Prusa i3 Extruder Upgrade Mounting Bracket

thingiverse

An x-carriage mounting bracket for a clone of a Geeetech spring loaded extruder. This is so that the extruder upgrade can be fitted to a CTC i3 (Prusa clone) in a direct drive format. The original bracket has holes which sit too close to the x-carriage for these cheap extruder upgrades to fit, so this deals with that problem. Not sure whether or not this would fit an original Geeetech extruder but I imagine they are the same morphologically. ***EDIT*** Actually, the original extruder is better than this upgrade, in my experience, just needs a little TLC. Most notably for me, the screws attaching the fan to the extruder/motor block shouldn't be too tight. I find it's best when they're tightened up fully then backed off a turn or two. Aslo, erring on the hotter side with the nozzle temp seems to help. I know that others have struggled with this extruder but it's been fine for me so far.
