MPCNC rigid mk8 mount
Description
1-7-2017: New File Added For Bltouch Support. Same Rigid Mount, Just With A Bltouch Mount Instead. 10-6-2016: I'Ve Been Able To Print The Latest Changes And Im Extremely Satisfied With The Results. I Have Changed Up The Tie Downs A Bit To Add Some More Clearance. I Even Made Some (Untested) Models With The Hicwic Universal Mount In Mind. If Anyone Wants To Try Them Out. Enjoy :) Note: I'Ve Made Some Improvements To The Design, To Add Better Printability. I Rounded Off The Edges Of The Probe Holder, So It Wont Cut Me Anymore :) I Reduced The Size Of The Internal Duct Work And Rounded Off The Internal Corners To Help It Print Better And Support Itself. I Thinned Down The Motor Mount Wall Just Enough So Those Last Few Screw Treads Will Be Able To Grab And Added Some Nut Slots For The Probe Holder. I Havent Actually Printed This One Yet, But I Noticed Some Uptake In The Interest For This Part And Wanted To Get It Out There. I Like The Original Mk Mount Just Fine, But I Find It Bulky To Add The Fan And Long Shroud, And If You Need A Bed Probe Then You Have To Find Some Way To Hang It Off Of Everything. My Part Adds Rigidity, And Moves The Part Fan Into The Mount Itself, And It Works Very Well, Forcing Air Through The Mount And Out The Bottom Directly To The Nozzle. There Is A Sleeve For The Standard Chinese Capacitive Bed Level Probe Which Is Larger Than The Standard Inductive Probe. If You Need To Use An Inductive Probe Then You Could Print A Sleeve For It To Slide Into This Mount. This Is Just The First Go At This Design, I Have Plans To Tweak The Design A Bit More, I Was Skeptical At First As To If It Would Print At All, But My Mpcnc Has No Problems With Bridging And Overhangs. Some Slicers Have The Ability To Selectively Add Supports Manually, But So Far I Havent Needed Any Supports, Just A Bit Of Extra Cleanup So The Fan Fits Snugly. Feel Free To Make Suggestions, As This Is My First Real Attemp At Cad Design Using More Than Tinkercad. I Only Used Tinkercad To Do Some Testing And To Add The Mount Geometry Easily.
