Modular printer head concept

This is a modular printer head concept based on the Prusa i3 X-Carriage that can be found here :
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838383

I initially implemented a serie of improvement from Anycubic Ultimate Upgrade but I was tired of unsxcrewing a lots of part when I had a nozzle clogged. So I decided to make it easier to remove by modifying the back plate to a more modular concept with a slider and only 1 screw.

Then I realized I can do more with my printer. This is when I decided to build more modular adapter.

X-Carriage and back plane

These are the first part to print. for this you will have to print

X-Carriage.stl
Modular_Back_Plane.stl
Belt_holder.stl
End_Stop.stl

For those part I recommend PETG and at least 30% infill as they will have to be sturdy enough to hold everything.

To assemble these part you will need

4 M2.5*20mm screws and nuts
1 M2.5*8mm screw and nut
Belt (optional if your belt is long enough)
2 Linear bearing (you can reuse your existing ones)

3D Printer head module

Obviously this module was the first one to be built. Here the parts you need.

Modular_Nema_17_Mount.stl
Modular_Titan_cover.stl
Rear_Fan_Support.stl
Rear_Fan_Bracket.stl
Rear_Fan_Mount.stl
Rear_Fan_Duct.stl

Print those part with PETG or ABS as they will have to support a lot of heat.

You will also need

2 M2.5*16mm screws and nuts
4 M2.5*6mm screws and nuts
1 M4*20mm
1 50x5 12v Turbo Fan
1 Noctua 40x10 Fan
- 2 M3*12mm
1 Titan Extruder + Nema 17 Slim Motor Select set 2 to get both the extruder and the step motor
E3D V6 J-Head Hot end

You may also need some cable connector if you plan to refresh the wiring of your hotend and fans. For the screws you can buy A M2-M3-M4-M5 Kit and a M2.5 KIT.

Pen plotter module

This started as an experiment to see how a 3D printer can be used to print in 2D. The result is good and you can use this to print on small flat objects or gift cards.

Parts to print:

Modular_Multi_Plate.stl (can be used for other project to fix things)
Modular_Pen_Plate.stl
Modular_Pen_Holder.stl

To assemble this you will need:

1 M3*12mm screw and nut
1 Spring or rubber band to hold the pen plate and holder together by some small hook.
a pen of your choice

Laser Engraver/Cutter Module

Part to print:

Modular_Laser_Mount.stl

You will need:

4 M4*6mm screws
1 Laser module
