E3D V6 Mount for GeeeTech Prusa i3 Pro X

thingiverse

Because i did not find any mount for an E3D V6 (direct drive) for my GeeeTech Prusa i3 Pro X, i designed my own one. Design goals: - Mount should fit on the existing X carriage. - As many old parts as possible should be reused. - The loss in Z height should be as small as possible - The outer shape of Part i3B1-30 should be kept to be able to mount existing stuff. - As KISS as possible Notes: - a fan mount is available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2763717 - used https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:341689 for the hotend model - The loss in Z height is (only) about 15 mm. - Mounting the new design is painful, because space is tight and several screws of the Part i3B1-29 are placed suboptimal. - With a redesigned part i3B1-29 both problems could be solved. - Slightly lighter than the original hot end (about 11 grams)
