An X Carriage adapter for the Bulldog XL and Prusa i3 (Aurora design).
It is specially designed so that the E3D fan shroud can still fit in the upright position.
NOTE: I mirrored the Bulldog XL by following a YouTube tutorial.
The servo I'm using is the TGY-1440A. (sub-micro servo)

If you don't want to use a servo for the Z probe I have also attached an alternative which utilizes a rubber band snap mechanism. The idea was given to me by a mate.

The switch is a DM3 micro switch from Jaycar.

Tolerances have already been accounted for so that the Bulldog XL can sit nicely in the mounting grove.
Most of the screws used are M3 x 15mm.
Optional active cooling.
No supports needed!!
This actually increased my printer speed by 1,200%.
NOTE: the stepper cooling fan that can be seen in some of the images can be found here:
