Zesty Nimble to Mosquito adapter for Ender 3.

thingiverse

I remixed user phelanp11's Ender 3 Mosquito adapter to work with the Zesty Nimble. I also had to modify the cooling fan duct to make room for the whole assembly. Just printed this out and verified it works fine on my setup. I did have to cut one of the long screws a little short so it was flush with the bottom of the adapter so the Mosquito and its hotend fan can fit. I personally printed the split one out and glued it together because I wanted it to look clean and don't like to fuss with supports, but I included both models so you can choose how you want to go about this. To assemble, First press in the bolts that came with the Zesty Nimble into the bottom of the adapter and try to have them sitting as flat as possible. Get the Nimble with one of the screws and screw it to the assembly to see how much screw you have to cut off and cut one of them to size, and make sure you have a couple nuts on there before you cut the screw down so when you back the screws out you recondition the thread path, you only need it one of the screws to be flush with the bottom of the adapter and this is done so the mosquito cooling fan can sit nicely on the adapter. OK NEXT STEP. Insert the PTFE tube (about 15-20mm) through the adapters filament pathway so that there is about 10 mm sticking out the bottom, push the Mosquito's filament opening against the bottom of the PTFE and push out the tube as far as it will go and screw in the Mosquito. Then cut the PTFE sticking out the top so it is flush with the hole that the tube is coming out from. Now hook up the adapter/hotend to the Ender 3. Now you can finally install the Zesty Nimble and proceed with their instructions at this point. I just posted this since I didn't see an adapter up on Thingiverse for this setup and I needed one. Hope this helps anyone that needs it too. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gy1WtZvaZ_E&feature=youtu.be ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ Video of it in action https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3597687 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ALSO here is a link to the fan silencer that is pictured if anyone was curious. Had to scale it down to fit though..
