About this print

A mount for fitting an E3D v6 hotend to the X-carriage of a Prusa i3 3D printer in a Bowden configuration. The clamp design holds the hotend firmly in place to prevent movement during printing, and the part includes dual fan mounts and a fan duct. PETG is worth using for this bracket as it sits near the hotend and tolerates the surrounding heat better than PLA.

**Version 2 released: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1632847**

If you have a Prusa i3 and are upgrading your hotend to an E3D v6 with Bowden, then you'll need this hotend mount for your X-carriage.

As this design clamps the hotend to the mount, there's no chance of a wobbly hotend.
