Hi everyone!
I needed a dual extrusion mount for two E3D V6 clones so i designed my own!
It has not been printed yet as my machine is out of order, so I hope to

see it printed by someone who can give me tips on how it fits and so on.
FEATURES:
-Independent dual extrusion mount, each hotend is mounted on its own to simplify mounting process.
-Adjustable hotend height (5mm range) to get both nozzle at the right height by just unscrewing two screws and using the vertical one to adjust the gap.
-All-in-one dual hotend cooling and dual part cooling pieces: the plate goes between the v6 fan holder and the fan itself after having both of them installed. Uses two 40mm fans as part cooling fans.
-Provides wire management spots.
KNOWN ISSUES:
-The fan mount has no space for the screws to move on, making only small adjustments possible, I am already working on a fix.
-Need for supports: I designed this with just functionality in mind so supports are needed in some pieces, gonna try to make custom supports for those pieces but i cannot ensure it.
-Orientation as default is not always the good one, try to rotate it until you get a good base surface and little support needed and then let me know so i can fix the main orientation of the pieces.
MATERIALS:
-Various M3 screws, gonna place the dimensions as soon as I get some feedback.
-Six M3 nuts, four on the back will need to be pushed in place as they lock the extruder holder in place after adjusting the height.
-Two 40mm fans (one can be the stock Anet hotend fan, but I suggest buying two identical ones to get even performance on both coolers) for the cooling ducts.
-Two E3D V6 extruders, complete with cooling fans and bowden mounts.
TO DO:
-Add support for auto-levelling sensors (inductive and BLTouch), waiting for user feedback on dimensions and suggestions for placement.
-Add customizable part cooling ducts.
The tolerances on the whole project are AT LEAST 0.2mm, which should be fine for most printers, if you encounter problems I may upload bigger tolerance files as well.
UPDATE 16/06/2018: Fixed the fan holder not allowing tuning of the extruders, now it is made of two parts and has a rail that allows sliding on the vertical axis while keeping aligned the blowers.
