Whose good with CAD? Mount for UM2 printhead
Ok, so when the UM2 print head is rebuilt to 2+, I would really like to have it bolt onto another printer carriage
I am thinking, since the rod bearings wouldn't be used, those plastic pieces could be replaced with a 3D printed one (or CNC'd)
I know for the print head to mount flush with another mount, it should either have a spacer or the replacement piece extrude a small distance outward. I was thinking two horizontal, 5 mm holes would be enough to secure it?
Just thinking out loud I know some of you have made some frankenstein ultimakers!

I really can't imagine what you want to do or for what. Please make a doodle

Remove the E3D from this mount and imagine a way to attach the Ultimaker 2 print head in it's place

Ah. Sorry nxe this was inside ultimaker I didn't understood why you wanted to do it.
It should be easy indeed. Go go design it.

I'm no good with CAD, thus the query ![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)

To want is to do!
Two years ago I never ever did any 3D but because I wanted a magnetic head changer I made my own version. Just get ready to tost a few kilos of material on test and enjoy the experience.

Unless you want your own custom beer. Otherwise you need to hire a beer maker

The problem is that only if you have the exact measurements of the mounting points you could create a CAD for it. So you need to at least provide a 2D drawing with some measurements for the holes and such before somebody could look into this. But I agree with Neotko, there is no better way to learn CAD than having a real project to work on ![Wink ;-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)

Beer is too inexpensive to brew! Now a good Wine is worth brewing yourself.

@LePaul, something like this? ![Smile :-)](./images/smilies/icon_e_smile.gif)
Spent about half an hour, fist time i touched CAD in over 3 weeks, just arrived home from a vacation.
You will need to replace the long thumb screws with four M3x35mm screws.
It is designed to fit a 31x31mm hole pattern (Nema17 standard)

That's sweet!
That could latch directly into existing aluminum extruder mounts out there!

Looks like a print worthy of PLA...or maybe something pretty, like that big spool of CF I have sitting around!
I'm using the Ultralight Weight Extruder 713Maker offers (http://713maker.com/ft5.html) Scroll way down.
That's worked really well with my Titan Aero/pancake setup.
With that hole pattern, your mount should bolt right on

Re: Whose good with CAD? Mount for UM2 printhead
@LePaul, I see that ultralight mount got a pretty big cutout for the motor, it might be a good idea to make the back plate larger to get a bit more support...
So, here is a version with a 45x45mm back plate instead of the minimal 38x38mm one.
PLA would probably work just fine, but a CF version is of course nicer looking![Wink ;)](./images/smilies/icon_e_wink.gif)
