[M] More ideal extruder mount

A project log for Coaxial8or [gd0144]

Full-colour FFF? Multi-materials with unparalleled interlayer bond strength? Abrasives without abrasion?

So I was looking in my basket and realised that £8 is going to the Nema 17 mounts, and they're literally just aluminium plates. I thought "What if I asked the uni technicians if they could make this." which was soon followed by "Why stop there? I could 'double my money', so to speak.". In this context, "double my money" means "double the amount of extruders mounted onto one plate".

It took 6 minutes in my mind to think up, but one entire hour later, I had modelled and dimensioned a solution. This doesn't include the time I spent modelling the original mount for use in the #SecSavr Sublime [gd0036].

Tri Mount on left and Dual Mount on right.

The plan is to have 1 Tri Mount that holds 2 motors and mounts onto the CR600S and then another 3 Dual Mounts for the remaining 6 motors.
