The Butterfly: lightweight and easy head mount for LM6UU crossbars (eg. Ultimaker)

Description

This Is A Thing In Progress B/C Of The Way The Hot Ends Are Attached. This Is A Generic, Minimalist, Extremely Light, Dual-Head-Ready, Two-Part Only, Quick Head Mount Replacement For The Ultimaker. I Am Using It Most Of The Time In Place Of The Stock Mount. It Can Be Used Like This But There Is Also Some Work/Upload To Be Done For A Better Attachment To The Hot Ends (See The Instruction For More). See, Eg. The Specific Mount For The E3D On The Last Picture (Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:159987). Should Work With Almost Any 12Mm Od Bushing/Bearing Long Enough. Once The Two Parts Are Assembled Together (4 Screws) It Can Be Mounted/Disassembled In About 1 Minute: - 2 Screws For The Electonics Pcb On The Tob - 1 Screw To Clamp The Hot End - 1 Screw For Each Bearing, Done. Check The Pictures For The Details And How It Can Be Put In Place Without Disassembling The X/Y Rods. Just Swap It With My Reciprocal Stock-Compatible Mount: Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:137847 It Also Has Provision For A Dual Head, Even Though I Never Tried So Far. For Now There Is Nothing Beyond The Couplign Screws To Attach A Fan, I Am Mostly Using A Separate 120Mm Fan To Blow On My Plate (And It Works Quite Well). Check The Instructions For More.
