Dual E3D v6/ Jhead Hotend Mount V 3.1 | X Carriage for Mendel, Mendel Max,Prusa and co.

NOTE! ######

The work on this Thing stopped since i got a different hotend now

End ######

After I searched and searched and I havn't found an x carriage for Mendel/Prusa so far, especially not a dual one and after all no E3D one, I decided, tu built my own, and this is where I got.

You can mount two E3D v6 hotends in it (Jhead was reported to work aswell), It got two mounts for the 30mm fans which are delivered with the hot end and two 60 mm fan

v 1.4 fixed a hole in "base v3.stl" where the air of the fans got lost

v 1.3 added a fan duct (note that the whole thing is not tested yet)

v 1.2 Released "top v2.stl" because I forgot to cut out the air holes

v 1.1 Added support for sidefans to cool filament while printing

v 1.0 thing released.

1. Print out all parts.
2. Make sure to remove all eventual support Material and ALL strings from inside so the Air can flow without any problems
3. Screw or glue top and base together. If you screw it, screw it with the Fan(s).
   
4. Place the carriage on the X axis and put the bearings in place.
   
5. Put in the E3D v6 from the botton to the top. Then take the clip and mount it.
   
6. Wire everything and have fun

Offset between the nozzles: 50mm however. based on your hotend and how accurate the things fit you may have to play around a bit with the value

This may help:
1. move your printerhead to the middle of the bed,
2. print out a tiny dot from both nozzles manually with your interface.
3. move your printhead to the homing position.
4. measure the space between the two dots then.
