Description
This is an alternative X-Carriage for the popular Voron CoreXY printer (compatible with the 1.0 and 1.5 X/Y gantry, but resembles the look of the 1.5 X-Carriage). For some more detailed shots (of the CAD assembly) see my [Imgur Album][http://imgur.com/a/6rihX].
It has two side fans (35x35x10mm Blower Fans) which heavily improve the part cooling over the original part cooler (which kind of shoveled away some air around the nozzle, but didn't really provide part cooling).
Beware: since I use IR Z-Probes and wanted my E3Dv6 hotend to be unmovable, I removed the ability to use the Nozzle as a Z-Probe. The X-Carriage is designed to be used either with dc42's IR Z-Probe or the compatible Aus3D IR Z-Probe.
Notice: the 35x35x10 Blower Fans are usually driven by 5V. So please keep in mind that you have to provide a 5V source to control these fans.
