Folger Tech Effector and Sensor Holder Remix

thingiverse

When changing to the E3D Lite6 hotend, I needed to adjust the size of the effector & sensor mount. Since the E3D lite6 hotend is shorter than the hotend supplied by folger tech, I needed to be able to move the proximity sensor further up & in order to miss the connecting rods had to shift it in 3mm also. I added the optional Fan tube for cooling that I remixed in openscad from this: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1378065 . I thought I might be able to get 2 fans on there, but was too tight a fit, so I used one of the fan connection points on the sensor mount to wire tie the hotend wires. I also did not have very good success with this cooling fan. My fan did not put out enough air & also the bracket broke. I left that in the design in case someone else wants to try it or improve on it. I might try another fan later. The effector part has a slightly deeper arc cut in where the rod ends meet to allow more clearance for the proximity sensor. I also made the locknut holes open at the top to make it easier to assemble the rods. The access to the locknuts worked really well for me. I have included the openscad source file & 2 STL files. The parts for the Sensor holder you can create individually in the openscad file if you want. Just set the DrawPart variable to the part you want to create or set to 1 to see the parts assembled. I used the original STL files from the Folger Tech design as the starting point for the effector & sensor mount.
