Replicator 2: mounting a E3D V6

GloomySparker · 2015-09-18T19:33:04.000Z

Hi everybody,

I am planning to mount a E3D V6 on my Replicator 2 but I am not completely sure on how to get it done.

I found this on thingiverse:

Makerbot Replicator 2 E3D V6 / lite mount by Luckyj13

This is a mount that will allow the E3D v6 / v6 lite to be used on the makerbot replicator 2 with the stock cooling fan. V3 had a small change that moved the step motor in a little to align the extruder holes.

Is there anybody who could answer my questions (as BlouLapinou) in the comments section?

Any help would be appreciated!

Thanks

Hi, did you successfully mount the e3d v6 hotend to your makerbot replicator 2?

Sorry, did not catch your message… In fact, I am still looking for a solution… I tested this design without any success:

The aluminium cooling part is impossible to insert into the printed part… perhaps I misunderstood something.

Because I really want to install an e3d on my Rep2, I think I will design something when I have some times.
