SimpleX Carriage for E3D Volcano and Anet A6
Description
Carriage has been designed with nut capture for M3 nuts. Assembly is with M3 capscrews. The carriage uses 3 X LM8UU bearings, so can easiy take Igus bearings, and with three bearings it is much more stable than carriages using just 2 LM8LUUs If printed with the suggested wall and infill, the carriage is lighter than the Frankenstein and holds the hotend/heatbreak/heatsink assembly much more firmly with no wobble. I found the Frankenstein developed major wobble over time as the base hole expanded as the clamping system is not very robust. I have not gone for a full circle part cooler. This is deliberate, as I found that these cooled much more than they were supposed to and caused issues. Getting the blower in as close as possible to the plastic exiting the nozzle and using a lower power fan produces much better results and also means a quieter fan can be used.
