Nimble V1 and Nimble V2 on the E3D Toolchanger

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

All the needed parts to mount a Nimble on the E3D Toolchanger.
It consists of a simple little block to mount the Nimble on and a bigger block to mount the stepper and stepper bracket to the top plate of the printer.
In this configuration, a cable of 75 cm is long enough.
The Nimble_Mount parts are for the Nimble V1.
The Nimble V2 Mount parts are, you guessed it, for the Nimble family Version 2.
Careful
The mount for the stepper should not be used in the standard position. When placing a tool head back in the park position, the drive cable pushes it down a little and makes it difficult to dock and stay in dock.
Mounting the stepper on the side, instead of the back, makes for better docking of the tool heads.
The STL models are checked and optimised. The parts that need a different orientation to print properly are rotated to the preferred printing position.
The Nimble Extruder
With an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is the smallest and lightest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations.
The Nimble is available from Zesty Technology.
