Built for the CTC Dual (Converted to Single), but should work on Makerbots and Flashforges.

After heavily modifying everything about my CTC Bizer (Makerbot Replicator clone) printer, it was a real workhorse. However the extruder began to jam frequently, to the point it could not finish a print. I also got rid of the second extruder as I rarely use it (Literally just disconnect the left extruders motor, thermocouple and heating element cables and change the CTCs settings to single extruder).

There are other designs on Thingiverse for an E3D mount on a CTC but none featured active cooling. I wanted to design something from scratch that allowed me to use a silent 40mm fan for the E3D aswell as active cooling. All inside a small package as other designs protrude and smack into the enclosure doors. The active cooling is split well and perfectly positioned so that my hotend doesn't cool down and cool the print just right. My previous experiences with other designs applied too much cool
