So I liked the Brush Mount by the user Demothens a lot, but I feel that the design is a little too conservative in terms of structure and stability, it actually started to sag a little down due to the force applied by the print head dragging from side to side.

This remix is meant to remedy that long term instability/Flex.


Note: There are 2 versions of the bed frame for the Ender 3 V3 SE, the original and the new version which uses the KE bed frame, make sure to take a look as to which bed frame you have and choose the appropriate model, I have provided both models.
 
PRINT USING PETG OR ANY TEMPERATURE RESISTANT MATERIAL, WILL SAG OVER TIME IF NOT.


Example G Code: (this uses a mixture of the Orca Slicer default G Code and the one provided by Demothens in his original model + some edits I made of my own) Use at your own risk.

M220 S100 ;Reset Feedrate 
M221 S100 ;Reset Flowrate 

M140 S[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single] ;Set final bed temp 
G28 ;Home 
M420 S1; Enable mesh leveling 
G92 E0 ;Reset Extruder 
G1 Z2.0 F3000 ;Move Z Axis up 
M104 S[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] ;Set final nozzle temp 
G1 X120 Y-12 Z0.2 F5000.0 ;move to idle position
M190 S[bed_temperature_initial_layer_single] ;Wait for bed temp to stabilize 
M109 S[nozzle_temperature_initial_layer] ;Wait for nozzle temp to stabilize

G1 X1 Y-12 Z0.2 F5000.0 ;drag ooze through brush
G1 X80 Y-12 Z0.2 F5000.0 ;drag ooze through brush - back
G1 X1 Y-12 Z0.2 F5000.0 ;drag ooze through brush
G1 X-1 Y20 Z0.2 F5000.0 ;Move to start position

G1 X-1 Y145.0 Z0.2 F1500.0 E15 ;Draw the first line
G1 X-1 Y145.0 Z0.4 F5000.0 ;Move up a little
G1 X-1 Y20 Z0.4 F1500.0 E30 ;Draw the second line

G92 E0  ;Reset Extruder
G1 E-1.0000 F1800 ;Retract a bit

G1 E0.0000 F1800

 

Second photo is an example on the supports I used to print the model.

Also, I have a hunch that this would actually work with the KE model but I don't have one to test that out….. Anyone care to check to see if it's compatible and would let me know? :)

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

  • Reduced the need for supports (original model required several, mine requires only 1 and that depends on how good your bridging is, you might get away with no supports at all)
  • Stronger structure to provide more long term stability.
  • Added a second model to fit the new version of the Ender 3 V3 SE which uses the KE version of the bed frame.
