TLM Nimble V6 Bracket

Zesty Technology designed a Nimble mounting bracket for Tevo Little Monster 3D printers with the stock effector and hotend. This is an update for effectors with the E3D V6 + Volcano hotend.

Summary of changes

  1. Enlarged the through-hole to allow the PTFE feed tube to pass
    • Otherwise, the filament would be free to bend/kink in the 10 mm gap between bottom of the Nimble and the top of the V6.
  2. Removed material that blocked the tube collet and collet clip
    • Otherwise, the bracket would not sit flush on the effector.
  3. Deepened the Nimble bolt countersinks
    • Otherwise, the bolts would strike the bottom and split the bracket in two during installation.
  4. Lowered the surface for the effector mounting holes
    • Purely cosmetic, and allows for shorter mounting bolts when attaching the bracket to the effector in trade for printing some equivalent support material.

Size: 1.75 mm filament models

E3D has both 1.75 mm and 3 mm sized models of their V6 hotend, and this bracket has been designed for the 1.75 mm variants.

If you have a 3 mm V6 and want to use the Nimble with your TLM, open an issue!
