The file 'HICTOP HIC Technology Dual E3Dv6 Extruder X-carriage (Marlin Firmware) 3D Printer Model' is (stl,rsdoc,zip) file type, size is 7.8MB.

Summary

Here is my new x-carriage for dual remote E3Dv6 Extruders. I have also had to redo the firmware (currently running Marlin-1.1.0-RC2 since it already supports MKS Base board used in this printer). I'm still working on fine-tuning firmware and I also have to modify the x-axis to allow wider range of movement so both extruders will cover edge to edge of the bed.

This is not a perfect design. It prints well, and fits together well, however if I were to redo it, I may combine some of the parts rather than having separate assemblies (but for experimenting separate assemblies will help since you can just change one part if it needs to be redesigned or changed). For now at least I have something to experiment with to fine-tune my printer.

I have also attached the DesignSpark Mechanical file so you can redesign this to fit your needs.

Update 8/20/2016: added a proximity sensor mount. Please check it and let me know if it needs to be changed. I don't have a sensor so I cannot test the functionality myself.
