Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2473520.

An adapter and reworked E3D V6 mount for on the Ormerod 2 printer.

The adapter holds and centres the Nimble to the hot end and the two parts of the clamp allow for the V6 to be mounted. The rework of the clamps is just to add a bolt hole or a little space for a bolt to stick through the nut. The Nimble will overhang at the back, roughly 9 mm. This should be OK and the holes for the tie-wraps are still usable.

To be able to print easier, I put a thin wall between the nut space and the bolt hole. After printing, simply drill it out with a 3 mm drill. Also, the Filament hole is covered the same way. This is a 4 mm hole and a 2 mm hole. The reason for the keyhole shape, is so that you can insert a thin rod in the smaller section to push down the collet in the V6 to release the PTFE tube, without needing to take it all apart.

To get the correct PTFE tubing length, install a tube that is a little bit too long, mount the V6 and the adapter. Then slice the PTFE tube off, flush with the top of the adapter. Then mount the Nimble. There will be almost no space between the tube and the base of the Nimble.

The Nimble Extruder

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.
