The Adimlab Gantry printer is a clone of the Creality CR-10. The X carriage on the Adimlab printer is a proprietary design and it is difficult to work with. If the printer is modified and a Creality style X carriage plate is installed on the printer it gives user's a lot more versatility on hotend and extruder designs.
Unfortunately, because of the way the Adimlab printer is designed some hotend/extruder combinations will not be low enough on the Adimlab printer for the hotend to reach the bed.
This adapter is made to fit onto the Creality X carriage and mirrors the carriage mount points so it will drop the hotend down 20mm.
In the 2nd image, the Petsfang hangs too high and it doesn't touch the heated bed. This is because the X gantry is bottomed out. Do excuse the poor overhangs it was a test print. In the 3rd image after installation of the adapter, the hotend is positioned properly.
To install you will need to press in some 3mm threaded inserts in the positions indicated on the 3D Model (Yellow) circled in red. You will also need two 3mm hexhead screws and two 3mm panhead screws. The hexhead screws go where they are circled on the printed part (black) picture. The panhead screws go on top of the printed washers (pink). This gives you 4 mounting points so it is solidly mounted to the x carriage.
The belt blocks work with the x Carriage to position the belt on the Adimlab printer. Recommend using these belt holders to secure the belt. https://www.printables.com/model/8805-gt2-timing-belt-holderclip
These parts were designed in FreeCad except for the belt blocks which were designed using AC3D. Recommend printing with 3-5 walls and cubic infill at 25-40%
