E3D v6 Bowden Adapter for Zonestar P802

thingiverse

I'm no longer using this adapter myself, so no further updates will be made. Updated it with an X-Belt-Holder, borrowed from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1362014 This is my Adapter to mount my new hot-end on my Prusa Clone Printer. My Zonestar printer has a clamp that fits on most of its models, if not all of them. I recently got a copy of Solidworks 2016 and gave it a try, which is the outcome. Since I'm new to Solidworks, designing this adapter was pretty straightforward. There's nothing tying the belt down, so I cut the original bracket that mounts the extruder motor to size and placed it behind the clamp, as shown in the 5th picture. I just fitted the adapter to my printer, and I made a terrible mistake - when I put in the hot end, it seemed too high above the bed. So, I had to raise my heated bed for about a centimeter. Be warned! In time, I'll be posting an updated version - first, though, I have some issues with my printer that need to be sorted out - at the moment, my printer is a total mess and requires attention right away! Note: This is still a work in progress - as you see, the clamp has a hinge-looking thingy on its side, which is easy to guess what it's for (of course, it'll be a fan).
