Orbiter Extruder Mount for E3D Toolchanger

This is my version of a mount for Joe Pomo's excellent Orbiter Extruder.

It is an ADD (Almost Direct Drive) block for mounting the orbiter above the E3D Toolchanger alignment block. It uses the standard E3D aluminum MK6 heater extruder section.

This mount differs in that it rotates the Orbiter to have the long axis across the tool, instead of with the motor hanging over the alignment area of the printer. It makes it more compact, and the tension thumbscrew is oriented outward toward the build volume, making access easier.

Included is the mount block STL file, along with a 7mm nut for the filament feed. I just used a spare E3D MK6 heat break which I had kicking around as a filament guide, flipped it over, and have the narrow end positioned right below the drive gears.

This leaves the 7mm X 1.0 threaded end of the heat break pointing down, with a nice socket for the ADD teflon tube section between the MK6 and the Orbiter.
