These 2 things are unrelated, but I didn't feel like making a separate listing for the tiny spacer.

Neither of these prints need supports or anything. Just use more walls for the BMG mount to make it stiffer.
So I didn't like the mounts that people had made. For some of them, they needed a different extruder motor since the BMG pushes the motor back into the VGA cable. Others needed different screws. I figured I could make one that works with the completely stock setup. So you can use the screws that come with the printer, along with the stock extruder motor. So far I've been running it for a month and it seems to be doing a better job than the stock Titan extruder. We'll see about the longevity. The Titans seemed to last about 9 months between failures. The only issue anyone might have is that it doesn't perfectly line up with the hotend. It's off by just a few mm. But the distance between the extruder and the hotend is enough that the tiny bend in the ptfe tube is barely noticeable.
The other file is a simple spacer for the VGA cable screw. If you tighten that VGA cable, there is still space between the connector and the screw head. This means that the cable is still loose. This spacer allows you to actually tighten that cable. This came about because my heater kept failing in the middle of prints, and I discovered it was this cable coming loose. I haven't tested it at the time I posted this, but it should work. You might have to scale it if the size isn't perfect.
