Update March 2 2019 Groovemount & Fusion Overhaul

  • Fusion Files updated for all v1.2 parts
  • All files have been completely rebuilt for clarity and organization

Design Direction

  • Mass centered over centerline (BMG filament path is off-center)
  • Bracing for motor during travel moves
  • Minimal supports required for printing
  • Y-Carriage prints in 2 parts for strength and modularity; no supports needed
  • Bring-your-own hot end, anything that mounts to the Orion lower-mount (currently E3D groove mount or threaded heatsink, Slice Mosquito) bolts into place
  • Multiple part cooling fan options
  • Full Fusion 360 project available
