I made this for my Ender 3 V2 Neo, but it should fit any other printer with 4040 extrusion profiles.

There are 2 variants: Top mount and Side mount, choose whichever you want.

Both mounts are meant to be used on the right side of the printer, but you can mirror the piece on your slicer in order to be able to mount it on the left side.

Hardware needed:

  • 3x M5x8mm screws (you will need only 2 in case you use Top mount)
  • 3x M5 T-nuts (you will need only 2 in case you use Top mount)
  • 2x M3x16mm screws (these will replace 2 of the M3x12mm screws you already have in your enclosure)

Installation for side mount:

  1. First insert the M5x8mm screws in the mount.
  2. Put the M5 T-nuts, do not tighten them yet, just make sure they won't fall out.
  3. Remove the 2 M3x12mm screws from your enclosure corresponding to the mount.
  4. Put the M3x16mm screws to join the mount to the enclosure and tight the screws so it is securely mounted.
  5. Align your T-nuts to your printer 4040 aluminum extrusion and then insert the mount to the extrusion, make your sure the T-nuts enter to the extrusion and everything is flush.
  6. Last step is to tighten the screws until there's no play and the mount is firmly secured.

Installation for top mount:

This time we will mount the enclosure first before we insert the M5 screws

  1. Remove the 2 M3x12mm screws from your enclosure corresponding to the mount.
  2. Put the M3x16mm screws to join the mount to the enclosure and tight the screws so it is securely mounted.
    1. In case it is not clear, you are meant to use the slightly bigger M5 hole to insert your M3x16mm screw from there, otherwise it'd be really hard insert this screw.
    2. If your M3 head screw is too big and it doesn't fit the M5 hole, you can try to put the screw from the side, and tighten the screw with your screwdriver until there's enough room to put your screw in its normal position.
  3. Insert the M5x8mm screws in the mount.
  4. Put the M5 T-nuts, do not tighten them yet, just make sure they won't fall out.
  5. Align your T-nuts to your printer 4040 aluminum extrusion and then insert the mount to the extrusion, make your sure the T-nuts enter to the extrusion and everything is flush.
  6. Last step is to tighten the screws until there's no play and the mount is firmly secured.

Any feedback is really appreciated since this is one of my first models, happy printing!

Model origin

The author remixed this model.

Differences of the remix compared to the original

This model allows you to mount your enclosure to a 4040 extrusion aluminum profile, it uses the original enclosure, so you don't need to reprint anything, just print the mount itself.
