E3D V6 bolt on mount for Solidoodle

thingiverse

This is my take on the E3D V6 hot end mount, originally designed by Lawsy and modified by Wardjr so all credit goes to them. This version uses screws and a bracket to hold the E3D V6 hot end very tightly, eliminating all wobble. Update 08/17/15: If you have upgraded to an E3D hobb goblin drive gear, a new tension arm is required. This file is now attached. It still uses a 625zz bearing, M5 bolt cut to length, and 2x M5 washers. I highly recommend this upgrade, it added even more resolution to my prints. Update 11/11/14: I added the filament guide and tension arm STLs, originally designed by Lawsy, just so that everything you need is in one place. Update 11/18/14: I downloaded the files and noticed that the bracket was not printing right. I'm not sure if others had issues but I ran it through netfab and it was fine after that. I have now included a fixed version in the downloads (look for FIXED at the end of the filename). Instructions Print it with at least 3 perimeters and a high percent infill for strength. You need some longer M3 screws, I used M3x30 mm and they were just right. If you printer is slightly over extruding, like mine, you may need to put a washer between the two pieces, or the bracket might slightly flex. Run the wires through the loop to keep them tidy.
