Description

I made this adapter so I could keep using my lgxlite extuder with my ratrig printers which now use the orbiter 2 in their builds. I used this for my vchonk build, but you will need to modify your vchonk hot end head to fit this adapter. This still works with the new ratrig toolhead metal plate. 

Hardware: Four m3 x 8mm cap head screws to mount your lgx lite to the plate. 
Two m3 x 6mm cap head screws to mount the assembly to the print head. 

I printed mine in ABS with 1.8mm walls, 1mm top and bottom, and 25% cubic infill.

There are some sacrificial layers in the 4 holes on the underside. These are there so that you can print the overhangs without supports. You will need to punch through these with a thin long object (like your 2.5mm Allen wrench). 

First, insert your two 6mm screws into the side holes. There will not be much clearance once the extruder is mounted. 

Second, screw the 4 mounting screws on the underside. Make sure the two 6mm screws don't fall out.

Third, screw the assembly to where it needs to go. The right side will be harder than the left side. Try to screw in both sides at the same time little by little, going back and forth between the two screws. If you screw one side in all the way first then the plate tilts and it is hard to make clearances. Removing the front face of the extruder gives you a bit more clearance for your allen key.

I hope this saves you the time of modeling your own!
