Zesty Nimble to JGAurora A5 direct mount

thingiverse

**This design is intended to mount a Nimble V1.2 to the original A5 printhead. It is not suitable for the newer Nimble V2.** The design uses a [right-handed nimble](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1843195). It uses the existing bowden coupler to fasten the adapter to the print head. A guide on top covers the bowden coupler and aligns the PTFE tube with the Nimble. Cut the PTFE tube flush with the top of the guide so that the Nimble can clamp it down properly. For more detailed instructions, see the [Nimble Basic Adapter](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2086491) Note: The screenshots do not always show the latest version of the objects.
