Thank You


Wardjr, can you share the .skp file for that mount?  I'm looking forward to testing it as soon as my E3D gets here.  I want to add a half circle wire holder on the side like another user did to the original Mk5.  Thanks.

Thank you guys for all of your replies!

Just about to print off the new carriage, order new rods and bearings.

I recommend printing several of each part. I have 3 sets of carriages printed in the event my upgrade process went array, or had issues shortly thereafter. It never hurts to have replacement parts.
And enjoy! Upgrading the carriages was the most fun and fulfilling for me so far.

Ugh... This stuff is amazing guys! Why didn't you force me into this earlier?

What were your settings on the prints by the way?

Other than that, good kapton, no noticeable grinding or noise, nozzle looks good, exercises all axis very well, wires all in place (no wobble), well greased rods (rather have very dirty grease than no grease), and good prints right off the bat.

Keep in mind the v6 and v5 E3D hotends have different sizes. And this stl is just the body. You will still need to print the filament guide and the locking arm. Tension arm is recommended, but it is possible to use the acrylic arm that will eventually break.

Lawsy designed this to replace the crappy acrylic system that comes stock on everything but the Soli 4.
This is what I'm talking about: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:111213
There's also a version that can take then newer E3D variant floating around somewhere.
