HUGE SHOUT OUT TO JACKWATERFALL FOR CREATING THIS BEAUTIFUL GEOMETRY!!!

3-9-2019 UPDATE. PICTURES ADDED OF NEW GANTRY AND ADDED SUPPORT ON FAN DUCT

have done some heavy modification to the x carriage mounting system as it uses the original ender 3 x carriage gantry. something else i noticed with this design is that the loop at the top likes to scrape along my cables so i decided to go with a sleep arc at the top with holes for zip ties.

small QoL changes to the pieces as well like an extra 3mm nut holder for the fan shroud
forgot to mention i played with the original fan shroud for a more directed airflow path directed 4 mm below the nozzle

didn't the change the orientation so just print flat sides agains the bed if u want....
.. or with the e3d mounts long the layers for best strength like they are right now

if people like this enough i may add other auto bed leveing sensor mounts but well see how that goes

i'm getting black petg in the mail soon so i will be posting screen shots as soon as i get it in from amazon.

version one is on my current ender 3(in the photos). 2 trials to get it there and now i've refined it for the ender 3.(also i can't find that front part someone made with the integrated 360 cooling of the nozzle )

PARTS I HAVE:
E3D V6 LITE
30MM FAN FOR HEATSINK
5015 LUBED BEARING BLOWER FAN
12MM 5V INDUCTIVE SENSOR
EINSY RETRO
FULL ENDER 3 STOCK FRAME

I'm trying to convert most features of a prusa i3 for as cheap as possible to my ender 3.
I have models built up for an integrated extruder/ filament sensor runnout in the making with a sleep design that fits into the existing ender 3 extruder mounts

when i get to printing the final version i will include a guide on how to put things together although the only differences here between this one and jackwaterfalls xcarriage is that the 2 screws holding on the front end clamp are a bit longer than intended so i shorted the recess in it to accommodate.

i've been obsessed with converting my ender 3 to close as a prusa mk3 as possible without the massive price spike it comes with.

this is still a work in progress and any feedback would be appreciated as i spent a little bit of time getting the measurements right to fit the stock ender 3 carriage as possible.

only part about this carriage that some people might find discouraging is that you must take apart the entire assembly because this x carriage uses the hex screws used to hold the bearing wheels as i found it much more stable and virtually no play in the system.
