3D model description

This is one of my first humble trys to design something useful. Or anything at all. Using Tinkercad.
With this mount you can change the extruder motor of the CTC DIY (Do It Yourself, also known as the CTC Prusa) from the right side to the left side and it replaces the aluminium bracket so you can use standard extruders like the MK8.
You need a threaded throat barrel (like MK8 extruders happen to use).
The motor simply is squeezed in place by the clamp. If you happen not to have a M4 screw of some 70 mm length I made a M4 coupling (german: Kupplung) so you can use two shorter screws.
You can use the standard CTC DIY M3 x 20 screws to mount the mount (ha ha) to the backplate.
I am printing PLA with that construct right now (see pic). If this will continue to work tomorrow is a pretty interesting experiment. Let´s hope for the best. ;)
