Description

PDF

Better mounting bracket for the ender 3 and includes a mount for a BL Touch, look at the differences section to see the improvements.

As the shroud itself was not modified it hasn't been included, download it from the original author at  https://www.printables.com/model/405037 

BL touch x and y offsets (in klipper format):
  x_offset: -40.5
  y_offset: -7.5

Extra hardware needed for mounting BL touch:

  • 2xM3 screws (at least 15mm long)
  • 2xM3 nuts 
  • 4 magnets (6mm diameter, 2mm thickness, same as gridfinity) 
    (yes they are 1mm shorter than the original design, you do not need two different magnet sizes, they fit just as well on the shroud, i didn't even use a spacer, also you need another 4 for that so really 8 magnets)

The original Ender3 shroud screws are just long enough to be reused for mounting the new bracket, and therefore aren't listed, although you are welcome to use longer screws

3mf and step file available

The print should not need supports, but might need some post processing if the bridging for the screw head pockets fails, the tolerances are pretty small

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • Larger bracket, more rigid
  • Added physical stops to better hold the shroud
  • Uses the original mounting screws in addition to the hotend screws
  • Uses gridfinity magnets (6mm diameter, 2mm thickness)
  • Added BL touch mount
  • Added central hole to change probe tip without taking it apart
  • More precise X-roller screw head cutouts with the help of the official Ender 3 CAD model
