<h3>Ender 3 BMG E3D V6 Direct Drive Extruder Lightweight Mount</h3><h4>Updates:</h4><ul><li>2021-07-24 - The endstop filament runout sensor combo is redesigned with a better reverse bowden and wire path. (Ender 3 Limit Switch Bracket DD Sensor v9)</li><li>2021-03-27 (v13) - Split fan shroud mounting arm from main body to facilitate fan shroud replacement and nozzle changes. Requires a M3 10mm-15mm screw.</li><li>2020-12-31 - Redesigned fan shroud and zip tie mounts. I removed the gantry clip because it provided no benefit to stability or wiring. Fan shroud mount should now only require supports on the extreme end with the screw hole. I have included a screen shot of how I have<i>support blockers</i> configured in my slicer.</li><li>NB. The previous versions had a mistake in the fan shroud position.</li><li>2020-12-29 - Added support for Slice Engineering Mosquito hotend. The back plate was thickened, the fan shroud was lowered 0.5mm. The hotend wiring and filament runout sensor was relocated to the front of the gantry.</li><li>2020-10-23 - Added .step file </li></ul><h5>Parts:</h5><ul><li>(4) M3 x 6 mm Screw</li><li>(1) M3 x 8 mm Screw</li><li>(1) M3 x 10 mm Screw</li><li>(1) M3 x 20 mm Screw</li><li>(1) M3 Washer</li><li>(1) PTFE Tube</li><li>(n) Zip Ties</li><li>Genuine E3D V6 Full - Direct - 24V - Hotend</li><li>BMG (or clone) Left Handed Dual Drive Extruder</li><li>Short Body Nema 17 Bipolar Stepper Motor</li><li>Blower Fan 24V 5015</li><li>2.0mm Straight Single Row Breakaway Male Pin Header</li><li>2.0mm JST-PH JST Connector Kit </li></ul><h5>Optional:</h5><ul><li>Polyethylene Spiral Wire Wrap Tube PC Manage Cable 6mm</li><li>BLTouch v3.1</li><li>Smart Filament Sensor 1.75mm </li></ul><h4>Notes:</h4><p>Depending on your setup, you may lose 10mm of Y build volume.</p><ul><li>Z Probe Position: X = -37.0, Y = 18.5</li><li>Receiving screw holes are sized to be tapped using an appropriate M3 bit, but will hold a M3 screw if filed or drilled out to the right size.</li><li>The fan shroud is a modified part from the Prusa i3 MK3S, and can be substituted with the original Prusa part (with appropriate Square M3 Nut).</li><li>When using the Mosquito Groovemount adapter, the upper and lower parts are split to allow for printing without supports. </li></ul><h4>Preparation:</h4><p>Print part with the large flat side down, and with support for the various external screw holes.</p><h4>Assembly:</h4><p>Guide coming soon...
