MGN12H G5 Mosquito/Mellow Tool Carriage

MGN12H G5+Mosquito/Mellow tool carriage with part cooling ducts

This tool carriage is to be mounted to MGN12H linear rail (or any other similar linear rail that has 20x20mm holes for mounting). The tool carriage expects linear rail to be mounted on top of the X brace (so not in front of it).

The hotend mount holes are for Mosquito by Slice Engineering or Mellow (Mosquito clone, not bad, but not as good as the original mosquito) hotend.

The integrated fan ducts are designed for two 50×15 blowers for maximum performance.

Extruder mount is for Flex3Drive G5 (latest and greatest) but if you want to go bowden just re-drill the filament hole on the holder and screw in the bowden tube holder and you are golden.

“blower screw holder.stl” is not required but you can print and mount it so your blowers are better secured. I myself like to glue blowers with gluegun to the ducts.

If you are using bowden, you can use M2.5 screws and nuts provided with mosquito to secure mosquito to the holder but if you are using G5 you need to use M2.5 brass inserts for 2 holes where mosquito is to be secured and you need to use M2.5 brass inserts on 3 holes where G5 is to be secured to the holder.

Printing: this prints .25mm layer, .5mm extrusion with .4mm nozzle in PETG on a rather shitty printer that is not very good doing bridges no problem, so you should be able to print this without any support easily.

DO NOT USE YET!!! THIS IS WORK-IN-PROGRESS

To do: Design mount points for the belt and test this in real life on 3d printer (so far in air it all looks good)
