E3D Lite6 Direct Extruder Groove Mount

Summary

So when my Prusa kit's crappy hot end went, I finally upgraded to an E3D Lite6. Little did I know that even though the bracket my kit used to hold it all together was nonstandard, it looked almost like a regular groove mount. I made my mount for my printer; hopefully, it's enough basis for others to mount an E3D on their cheap and sketchy Prusa kits!

Notes:

The tolerances are a bit tight on the groove mount; you might need to play with the SketchUp file if your printer isn't dimensionally accurate.
