Description
For the print head kit for the Nimble Version 2 family, have a look at Nimble and Sidewinder V2 mounts for the Creality type print heads
Modular print head to mount a Zesty Nimble Sidewinder on the Creality type print heads. This covers a wide range of printers.
The hot end mount is compatible with both the original hotend and the MicroSwiss hotend.
The advantage of the Sidewinder compared to the standard Nimble is the fact that the drive cable is horizontal. So if you have limited height due to an enclosure, for instance, the Sidewinder will help. If height is no problem, it is best to use the standard Nimble.
This mount is for mounting the Sidewinder with the drive shaft coming out to the side, pointing towards the Y stepper. So the drive cable loops horizontally around the left column.
There is a different version of Sidewinder mounts where the drive cable exits rearwards.

The standard Nimble also has it's own set of mounts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3558524
There are two versions of ducting, one for the original fan and one for a 5015 radial fan.
Also included is a mount for the BL Touch and a mount for an induction sensor, like the one mounted on the CR-10Pro.
The offset for the BL-Touch is: X+30.3 Y+2.4
For the induction sensor, it is: X+35.2 Y-4.3
All these parts are Interchangeable with the other Nimble mounts below.
All sensor mounts and ducting is height adjustable.
For all printers with a printbed of 22x22cm, you can use the 75 cm drive cable. Anything larger, it is best to use the 95 cm drive cable.
The STL models are checked and optimised. The parts that need a different orientation to print properly are rotated to the preferred printing position.
With an installed weight of less than 32 grams on your carriage/effector the Zesty Nimble is the smallest and lightest extruder you can buy, it has ample torque and can be mounted in multiple orientations.
The Nimble Sidewinder is available from Zesty Technology.
