Here is a collection of parts that allow you to use the Nimble Flex on any Creality type print head, as found on a lot of printers, like the CR-10, the Tevo Tornado, and others.

There are two main mount versions. One with nut traps and one with inserts.  
The Flex needs a post on the side of the breech, these designs have a separate post. This allows the top surface of the mount to be flat.

Included are 4 different hot end mounts. All hot end mounts use the default hot end cooling fan. The hot end mounts are for the standard Creality hot end (or Microswiss version), the E3D V6, the Mosquito, and the Copperhead hot ends. 

There are 3 different part cooling fans included, a 4010 radial fan, as found on the standard printhead, and two units to mount a 5015 radial fan. One for the left-hand side and one for the right-hand side.

Also included is a BL-Touch mount. All the mounts for the fans and the BL Touch are height adjustable. 

Finally, I also uploaded basic versions of the hot end mount and the left-hand and right-hand adjustable plates. You can use these to design your own mounts for fans or a specific hot end.

All the parts are in Step format. If you want the STL files, have a look here:

Mockup V3 Flex Horizontal

The is the main mount for the Nimble Flex. It is based on inserts.

Here are three models (mock-ups) of the Nimble V3 also known as the Flex. The Flex can be mounted in different ways with the drive cable positioned in steps of 22.5 degrees.
What these mock-ups give you are the main positions. Vertical, the default position, Forward, with the cable pointing slightly up and finally Horizontal, with the drive cable horizontally pointing to the back. 
For all positions, the bolt pattern is the same, it really is only to direction of the drive cable that can be changed.
On top of that, the Flex can be used right handed or left handed, it is ambidextrous. To use it in the other orientation, just mirror the file in your CAD environment.    

**Changelog:**

- 1 Initial release. 


** The Zesty Nimble V3**
These parts are **ONLY** for the Nimble Version 3 (the Flex).
With an installed weight of less than 25 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is the smallest and lightest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations.

Nimble V3 Flex mount with flat base

This is an example of a mount for the Nimble V3 Flex. You can use it as a base for your own design. 
The Flex needs a post on the side of the breech, this design has a separate post. This allows the top surface of the mount to be flat.

This is the spacer that supports the Flex on the side of the breech. It is a simple cylinder.
