HEVO Mount for the Nimble V1 and a V6

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2585290.

The New Nimble V2 family is here. Nimble Version 2 family The Nimble V1 is no longer sold. There is a V2 mount available for the HEVO. Nimble V2 mount kit for CoreXY

An Hypercube Evo mount that combines a E3D V6 and the Zesty Nimble into a compact direct drive solution for the HEVO.

It uses the standard blower and duct to cool the printed part, and the standard fan for the V6.

The mount is attached to the X carriage the standard way, with 4 dowel pins and the insert. The clamp uses 2x M3x25 screws and nuts to clamp the V6. The Nimble uses the standard supplied screws and the BT Touch bracket uses a M3x12 mm screw and nut to attach to the main mount. For the offset of the BL Touch, looking at the nozzle from the front, the BL Touch is 25.6 mm to the left and 18.8 mm back.

Edit: A mount for the standard induction sensor is now available as well.

Edit 2: It seems I needed to make more space for the optical sensors. Thanks Bartolomeus! I have added some space there. That is the only change for V1.1

Edit 3: Added a IR sensor mount for the DC42 differential IR sensor board. It is a bit of a flat block, but should print fine. I added a stiffening rib to make it a little less floppy. Also added a plain shape for a DIY sensor mount, so you can design your own.

The BL Touch mount has a sliding rail system to allow for fine tuning up and down. The bracket CAD file can be used to modify the bracket to fit any other sensor. If you have a specific sensor you want to mount, just let me know in the comments and I will add it.

Edit 4: Added a main mount that is changed in the following ways: The BL Touch is mounted on the other side, the original position took too much X space. Also, the mount is no longer fixed with pins and inserts, but simple bolts going through and through. Meaning you will need to use a carriage that has space for nuts on the inside.

Edit 5: Added a mount that has a captive M3 nut in the base, instead of the inserts. For the rest no changes.

Edit 6: Added a main mount for the Nimble Sidewinder V1. New mount and new V6 Clamp. But beware this is only for V1. For the V1.1 (most of you have V1.1) have a look at this thing: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3082806

As always, any comments, suggestions and such are welcome.

The STL models are checked and optimised. The parts that need a different orientation to print properly are rotated to the preferred printing position.

With an installed weight of less than 27 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is smallest and lightest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations.

The Nimble is available from Zesty Technology.
