The default Printrbot LC/+ carriage will not comfortably fit the E3D hotend. Additionally, the shorter length of the E3D hotend causes problems in the Z axis, especially if using one of the many Z stabilizer upgrades.
This carriage is designed as a bolt-on replacement for part of the stock Printrbot X carriage. It allows the hotend to be mounted lower and lets the nozzle reach the print bed even if using Z axis upgrades! Additionally, this mount has been made to be smaller and lighter than the stock part, and includes a built-in guide for wires. Additional holes have been left for a future fan mount (coming soon!).
Fits the E3D hotend and any other standard groove-mount hotends. The 10mm hole on the top is made to fit push-to-fit penumatic fittings for a bowden tube. If requested, I'll upload additional sizes.
Update 4/3/14: A version for the v5 Bowden E3D hotend (with threaded top) has been uploaded for additional compatibility. Use the Factory Bowden .STL if you've purchased that version!
Special shoutout to David and Sanjay at E3D, keep up the good work. :)
