Has anyone mounted a direct drive E3Dv6 on an x-carriage successfully? Every design I come across the fan always interferes with the mount. This is the closest I have found [www.thingiverse.com] but the fan still hits the 8mm smooth rod :( Thanks for any advice https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,518054,518054#msg-518054 Sun, 09 Aug 2026 22:13:20 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,518054,518344#msg-518344 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,518054,518344#msg-518344 standupclothing General Mendel Topics Sat, 06 Jun 2015 12:51:28 -0400 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,518054,518336#msg-518336 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?151,518054,518336#msg-518336 Most 20mm fans come as 10mm thick.
