E3d V6 Linear Direct Drive - No more double carriages!

thingiverse

So, I didn't like too many of the options for Direct Drive + Linear Carriage for my Printers. And the ones I did think were decent, are ALL 15+ files and lots of assembly. So I decided to make my own Minimalistic Linear Direct Drive Unit. This Design Bypasses ALL XYZ Side Linear Rail Carriages. It mounts Directly to the Linear Carriage without ANY adapters!!! And it's only 4 files. So I give to you ( Work in Progress ) The ALL IN ONE Single Carriage Direct Drive Linear Mounted ALL PRINTERS E3d V6 Super simple only 4 prints THING.. lol This is based on the MGN12H Linear Rail. Updated Files will likely be added daily as this evolves. If You have any ideas or modifications Please either ask or upload a remix! There are still some bugs to work out with this design, but I won't stop till it's perfect. *********************** Edit: 4/30/22*********** Modified a few small changes to the Main Body stl. Smoothed a few things out, Opened up the diameter of the Nut Insert Holes. Thickened up a few spots. ************** Edit: 5/1/2022************** Big changes made to Main Body File!! E3d_V6_All_In_One_Linear_Direct_Drive_Main_Body_V2 *Added a Hole under extruder plate to allow top drop in of screw for the Latch *Refined the Profile to print hopefully a little smoother *Changed the Side Cable Tie Downs (Hopefully for the Better!) *Smoothed and Meshed the new file in Meshmixer to hopefully look a bit better and seal up some minor gaps. *Moved the Extruder 2mm so it mounts directly over the center point of the hotend. Just Re uploaded main body file because I realized the Mounting for the E3d was too small and would require sanding. So I enlarged it and Meshed it again.
