Leapfrog Creatr E3D V6 X Carriage redesign
Description
For a more comprehensive upgrade, check out my other work in progress https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4312832 The Leapfrog Creatr is a structurally sound machine with some design issues I sought to remedy: 1. It uses proprietary extruder parts, which are hard to get and don't work well 2. The carriage is slinging around 2 extruder motors which are VERY heavy 3. Nozzle cooling is inadequate 4. No part cooling fan I wanted to use the ubiquitous E3D V6 extruder in a bowden setup with some standard LM8UU bearing blocks and the part cooling fan just about every printer uses, while keeping the dual extruder setup and cable chain. Most of the hardware is re-used from the original mount, but you will need to get some M3 screws and nuts to mount some of the parts. The LM8UU bearing blocks use M4 screws. Motor mount is mounted to the top of the printer above the rear Z lead screw. You will need slightly longer screws for that. I also really like the 40mm fan mount from this thing because the E3D fan is so loud: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2193695 File name is E3DV6_Coldend_40mmFan_holder_V2
