Mount for Nimble V1 on Tevo Little Monster

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2701541.

Changelog: 1.2 Please be aware that the mounting screws for the Nimble as shipped, are a little too long. It is best to use M3x35 mm or so to avoid hitting the effector. 1.1 Changed the 4 mounting screws to mount it on the effector. Some reported that the bolts were too close together. I have increased the bolt cirlcle.

A mount to put the Nimble on a Tevo Little Monster using the original effector.

There are two parts to this mount. The Base Mount (printed upside down) and the Position Plate. This last part is glued onto the Base Mount and makes sure the Nimble is positioned perfectly in relation to the Hot End.

The Base Mount is printed using embedded nuts. Pause the print at Z height of 4.357 or layer number 22 (roughly). Insert the nuts into the 2 hex holes and continue the print.

There is also a smaller mount designed for SLS printing. This is the Shapeways Mount.STEP file. It is uploaded to Shapeways and available here. http://shpws.me/PidJ

Mounting instructions. Insert PTFE tubing in the hot end and slide the mount over the tubing into position. Use 4 M3x25 mm screws to fasten the mount to the effector. Slice off the ptfe tubing flush with the top of the mount and install the Nimble.

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.
