If you're here, you know why. Step and f3d files attached for the inevitable mods you'll need to do for your situation. This whole carriage weighs 900g, but it hasn't had too much negative effect, and is a trade-off for a functional mixing printer that can do TPU.

you'll need 2x pancake steppers, (1A, 16Ncm, 20mm or similar) 2x 5015 blowers(could probably get away with 4015), and a 6015 for the part cooler (5015 would be ok here too), various nuts, bolts, and washers.

Recommend printing in Carbon Fiber PLA or PETG for the rigidity. Print the main carriage upside down, and the duct on it's front face.

I hooked my heatsink blowers in series because 7000rpm was overkill and too loud, so they now see 12v and run around 4200rpm. 

The 6015 is also a bit overkill, I have it limited in the slicer to 88% max, running normally at 65%. You'll need to use aluminum tape to shield the heat block from the cooling duct as well or it will drop the temp too much.

Other standard A10M things, I've drilled out the backflow discs, added purge gCode before and after printing, and try to print  in the 95-5%, 5-95% range, even if it means putting the same colour in both sides.

message me if you have questions or need help, we're all in this together.
