Pug Gantry Mount Remix: Toolhead Umbilical & Thermistor Option

Pug Gantry Mount Remix: Toolhead Umbilical & Thermistor Option

Overview

This project is a functional remix of the Pug Gantry Mount (Upper). It was developed to provide a clean, integrated solution for users transitioning from traditional cable chains to a Z-Umbilical setup while integrating Pug support.

During my transition to a Z-Umbilical configuration, I found a lack of visually cohesive options for the gantry mount that integrated Pug support. While the Hartk version is a solid design, it is limited to a PG7 threaded interface.

After further research, I discovered the remix by @viminaria_3745616, which provided the ideal foundation. I decided to merge the original design elements with the functional improvements from viminaria's version.

Assembly and BOM

The mounting interface has been optimized for a secure fit, utilizing two different fastening methods due to space constraints:

• Upper Mounting Points: Feature recesses for 2x M3x5x4 Heatset Inserts (standard Voron spec).

• Lower Mounting Points: Due to the compact geometry, there is insufficient clearance for inserts. These holes are designed for direct threading into the plastic.

• Hardware Required: Both the upper and lower mounts are secured using 2x M3x12 SHCS each.

• So in the end you need: 2x M3x5x4 Heatset Inserts and 4x M3x12 SHCS

• Also you need 2 T-Nuts and 2x M3x8 to secure it to the extrusion.

Available Versions

1. Standard Umbilical: (Z-axis to Gantry, Gantry to Toolhead).

2. Thermistor Integrated: Features a dedicated mounting point for an NTC 100K (or similar) thermistor to monitor ambient chamber temperatures.

Print Guidelines

• Material: ABS or ASA (Required for thermal stability within the chamber).

• Wall Count: 4

• Infill: 40% (Grid or Gyroid recommended).

• Layer Height: 0.2mm.
