E3D Krakken Prusa i3 carriage with Fan, LED and Z-Stop bed leveling. by Coogrrr

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

I bought a E3D Krakken print head so I could do 4 color printing. The print head is real nice but it required a carriage for my Prusa i3. So I designed this in Sketchup Pro.
I decided to include some features like - the bearing blocks and the main printhead mount are adjustable in case your Prusa's X-rails are slightly further/closer than mine are. There are loops and a zip tie hole set on either side to hold the excess wires.
The Fan/LED/Z-stop bed leveler is also adjustable up/down a little so you can get it fitted slightly above the print head tips. The fan ducting only blows out in a downward direction to prevent it from blowing onto the print tips.
I tried to balance the weight as best I could so it would not be too heavy toward the front, I also tried to make it as narrow as I could to give myself as much X distance possible.
Once I get the printer completed and test printing I will know if anything needs tweaking but I think it is good to go as is.
