Download Free 3D Model Rock-solid E3D V6 mount for CR-10 with 12mm ABL sensor support 3D Print Model

Summary
Since I would like to change my CR-10 hotend to a more reiable one in terms of clogging (my PTFE tube alway melts after printing ABS at 250 degree) I’ve decided to go for an original E3D V& hotend. OK, it’s not the cheapest solution but in terms of construction it really convinced me since the PTFE tube is to going straight down to the heated block but ends in the cold zone of the hotend.
So I waas looking for a mount that allows me to attach my new hotend to my CR-10 and lets me add an ABL sensor in addition. Unfortunately I could not find any that was working for me. Some were too bulky, some had some construction issues and some simply did not support ABL or the ABL holder was too weak.
Therefore I’ve started to build one from scratch which can be found attached. It fits very well to the CR-10 plate and is easy to print (just print the STL files as they are. The mount.STL migh need some supports to be printed well).
Also the construction is rock-solid – no shaky ABL sensor and no movement of the whole construction.
The ABL Sensor has been placed as close as possible to the nozzle so measurement discrepancies should be as low as possible if the bed is a little uneven. For ABL I’ve used the following capacitive sensor: Heschen LJC12 A3–5-Z/BX.

Use ABS because of hotend temperatures. Some supports might be needed for mount.stl.
How I Designed This
The mount had been designed in 123D Cad. Used the sensor and the E3DV6 hotend as reference and also did some trial and error when designing the whole mount.
The first design was paying attention to get the sensor as close to the hotend as possible and to have a minimalistic design – anyway, it failed because the sensor was not getting close enough to the bed.
The second approach was much better since the sensor height was perfect now and a cable clamp had been added. However, when trying to mount it to my CR-10 I’ve noticed that the roller screw was preventing the attachment of the mount.
