FLSun I3 X Axis compatible with official Prusa mount

thingiverse

This is a redesign of the Flsun i3 X gantry. It allows you to use the PrusaResearch I3 mk2 parts to mount your hotend, which in my opinion are better designed and include built in fan ducts for both the hotend and heat sink, and a mount for a capacitive bed sensor. You also get the option to use a standard extruder as well in order to use flexible filaments (the main reason I created this). I've also remodeled the Prusa parts to allow use of the stock FLsun hotend with or without the bowden, which is an E3d v5 clone. Parts not included here are available from Prusa research. If you want to use your stock FLSun hotend with your stock bowden extruder, you need to print the Xaxisprusamod.stl, the ExtrudermountBowden.stl, and the ExtruderMountCover.stl from here, and then print the fan-nozzle.stl from prusaresearch's official i3 mk2 files. If you want to use your stock FLSun hotend with the prusa style direct-extruder, you need to print the Xaxisprusamod.stl, the ExtrudermountBase.stl, and the ExtruderMountCover.stl from here, and then print the fan-nozzle.stl and the Extruder-Idler.stl from prusaresearch's official i3 mk2 files. To use an e3d v6 style hotend, you only need the Xaxisprusamod.stl. All other parts can be printed from the i3 mk2 files. Xaxisprusamod.stl assembles the same as your flsun xaxis gantry but you don't add the fans. After that, the Hardware is all M3 screws and assembles the same as the official version. You will need hex nuts and square nuts. All screws should be the same length as in the assembly guide for http://manual.prusa3d.com/Guide/5.+Extruder+Assembly/114. The dimensions should be nearly identical. The blower fan can be swapped over, its the right size, but the fan that comes with the flsun is 40mm. You can either swap it for a 30mm fan, or print a 30 to 40mm adaptor of thingiverse. TO DO: The v5 hotend is slightly longer than the v6, at some point I'd like to extend this so the part cooling fan points at the part better. Works okay at the moment, will revisit when I have a few more prints with it to see what else I want to redesign. Edit: Forgot to countersink a hole on the Extrudermountcover. Reuploaded correct file.
