Although still currently a WIP that's only because i'm trying to think of a better way to mount my inductive sensor, just ask if you want the plans atm. Ignore my terrible quality photos and my terrible wire management. The actual printed piece itself is extremely rigid and is made out of ABS and should thus be able to resist the heat given off by the heated bed and extruder without softening or warping.
This is a remix of Evaken's remix of PiggyJJ's E3d V6 conversion for the Duplicator I3. In order to use this you will need to download and print AzzA's Z extensions for the I3 V2 (http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1444979) as these will help compensate for the loss in z height caused by the V6 being larger than the MK 10 hotend. I have made my own custom versions that increase the z height by another 30 mm which i might upload if requested. Essentially by moving the extruder higher up on the gantry i am able to recover lost z height by simply having more space underneath the top bar. In all my testing this does not seem to impact printing performance. Would highly reccomend the mod although it does look rather strange.
I have recently found a fantastic Z-Probe mount that is compatible with this mod and is much better than my own. Thanks to HoolyHoo for the awesome design! https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1960419
