BMG + V6 + ABL Direct Drive Extruder

Last updated: July 31, 2021 (see Change log section near the bottom of this post)

A compact and easy to print direct drive mount for BMG extruders, V6 hotends, and ABL setups. This is compatible with open carriage printers such as an Ender 3 (Pro), Tevo Tornado, Alfawise U20, etc.

This excellent design is originally made by Adolf_Muffin, but I made a couple of improvements:

• M3 nut mounting holes and screws.
• Better BLTouch mount - the original was fragile and it would hit the tension belt adjuster at max X.
• Better cable route on Carriage Mount - moved the original cable route from the right to the left.
• List of screws and nuts needed.
• NEW: MGN12 Linear Rail compatible ²
• Guides for Slicing, Assembly, Firmware Config, and Calibration.

###Quick note about the components:###

• This mount should be compatible with GENUINE or CLONE components.
• As of July 20, 2020, the carriage mount and BLTouch mount does not fully support the Ender 5. The current models can work, but you're going to have to do some post processing. New models coming soon.
