Description

This version has been modified to set the hot end, 10mm to the right. This then lines up (give or take) with the original hot end position. Please note: this does not use the original extruder parts, you need to remove the Aluminium block and angle bracket. You could probably design an extruder that uses the aluminium block to work with this bracket. I found a weakness in the 3DTouch bracket and have uploaded the modified design. Best printed with an 80% infill to give the part strength.

Please note this is for the CTC Prusa i3 DIY Clone and to use the 3DTouch you have to upgrade the firmware. I am now using Marlin v1.1.4. If you need to know where to get it ask.

I've not upgraded to v2 yet, but I am watching it.The board I use is the GT2560 rev A+, this has the extra pins for the 3D touch.

How does the 3DTouch bracket wire into the mainboard? My diy ctc i3 pro b has the red anet3d board but I'm not sure how it ties in. And have you tried upgrading the marlin firmware to 2.0 yet?
