I created this to cool down a 13" MacBook Pro that was thermal throttling running anything more than a web browser.

It should fit any laptop <= 18mm in height.

The print in the photo is a previous version, the new version has more of an angle.

Fan attaches with M4 set screws, they self tap. Be sure they don't stick out towards the laptop.

I have included a guard which should be printed with no top or bottom layer and an infill of your choice. There are better guards though, like this one; https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5218002

I found the original version of this had two issues with the strain gauge and therefore the automatic bed levelling:

1) Not enough clearance around the Bowden connector
2) Not enough clearance around the Bowden tube to allow it to move freely

Both of these issues meant there was friction on the hot end, which needs to move freely for the strain gauge and automatic bed levelling to work.

You’ll need two square thin M3 nuts for the adapter. Removing the support plastic from the nut holes is an art - just keep scraping and you’ll get there. Check that there’s good clearance for a Bowden tube on the main hole. Also check that M3 screws will fit with clearance in the mounting holes.

To install this adapter, cut the Bowden tube 30mm above the top of the hot end cover. Remove the two hot end cover screws. Install the adapter using a couple of M3x18 screws.

Install the extruder on top — making sure there's clearance between the inside of the extruder and the Bowden tube. You can test this by pushing the nozzle upwards and watching the strain gauge LED lighting up. As long as it turns on and off with little pressure it'll be fine.

Put the remaining Bowden tube into the top of the Sherpa Mini. Disengage the original extruder and use the same filament path as before.

For an added bonus I suggest you print off the strain gauge washer and the filament sensor from this project (if you want to remove the old extruder) : https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4837410

CR6-SE Sherpa Mini Direct Drive Extruder Adapter — Updated

Model originally uploaded to Thingiverse at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4921425.

Use to replace the stock 30mm fan with a (hopefully quieter) 24V 40mm fan.

This piece replaces the stock spacer, you can use the existing screws again.

You will need 20mm M4 screws to mount the fan. Either tap the holes or the screws should self tap.

I made this to mount a Raspberry Pi Zero 2 to my Creality CR-6 SE. I mounted it underneath the bed.

It has two lugs to locate itself into the v-slot extrusion.

You need 4 x M2.5 screws to attach the Pi to the mount — length depending on if you want to use the cover.

You will need 4 x M4 t-nuts and screws to attach the mount to the extrusion.

I wanted to mount a Monacor BR-50 on my sim rig, so I made this.

Holes for the BR-50 should self tap with normal M4 screws.

Holes for mounting to the aluminium extrusion are 8mm.

The model is 4mm thick, scale to your desired thickness when slicing.

A simple tee nut for 4040 8040 etc aluminium extrusion with an M5 suitable hole.

An M5 screw self-threads easily into the 5mm hole.

Can be inserted and extracted directly, no need to slide in from the ends.

I used it to hang a mains extension lead. Probably not recommended for anything structural!
