I created this thing to have an x-carriage for my 3d printer to facilitate a bowden extrusion configuration. I also wanted to create a method of having a modular working head. This way, if/when I work my 3D printer to also be a CNC/laser cutter, I can just create a new mounting plate and attach it to the existing x carriage. It works by having a plate clamp around your extruder and then your plate mounts to the carriage.
It was designed as a different x-axis mounting point for the PrintTable.
Usage:
1) To start, measure (preferably with calipers) the diameter of the collar where the mounting plate is going to clamp (in my case it was 9.3mm)
2) Measure the thickness of this collar area (mine was 2mm)
3) With these measurements, open the attached mountPlateRight.scad and moutPlateLeft.scad files and change the variables to generate your mounting plate.
4) print the parts. You will need one of each file with the exception of the end caps, which you will need two.
