I can confirm it is deserving of that Bondtech logo on the front. This thing is a low weight and compact powerhouse. I will have one mounted on something new out at MRRF, and a another for people to handle and checkout at the booth with @Brandon_Satterfield at the show. So come check it out!
@Alex_Skoruppa there is someone who has done this with the BMG already with great success. You should hit up Martin for details.
Ok, so it’s a 3:1 ratio on a pancake stepper, with a spring-loaded arm on the second hob instead of a fixed hob distance. Right?
You are correct @Ryan_Carlyle and it has an integrated mount for an E3D hotend directly into the housing.
@Martin_Bondeus Groovemounts suck. Can you help convince E3D to offer bolt-flange versions of their heatsinks? They already have prototypes and it would help adoption/uptake if Bondtech supports them.
We are flexible and positive to create new standards that make the products more universal, I have been thinking of a quick-lock function but that might be to overcomplicate things, if you have som ideas of dimensions for a new mounting standard @Ryan_Carlyle i am all ears.
@Martin_Bondeus This is specifically what I was thinking of:

But come to think of it, that wouldn’t integrate well with non-bowden extruders. It would be better if the bolts screw up from the heatsink end to grab the effector or extruder. You only need 2-3 M3 bolts.
There’s already a de facto competing standard with groovemounts, which I personally prefer for stability and heatsink design flexibility. The Gen4 Makerbots and clones (>100,000 printers) use two bolts of the NEMA 17 bolt pattern to attach the extruder to the cooling bar / heatsink assembly. I know you’ve been looking at this for your R2x watercooling prototype.
Will these be available at mwrrf?
@Ryan_Carlyle Goodbye groovemount: Trim off the upper part of the heatsink and clamp the top fin with some M3 button head screws to whatever you want to mount it to:
@Heinrich_Wiedemann_p Main issue with that kind of end-user mod is that tapped threads in the fins will strip easily. Need more thread engagement length. (To say nothing of the issues with bowden fittings and direct extruder attachments.)
@Brad_Hill You can see them in action if you look up Eric Lien, Michael Hackney or Vernon Barry, but there is unfortunately no for sale at the show.
@Martin_Bondeus Good choices for beta testers 
@Ryan_Carlyle you coming MRRF?
@Eclsnowman 2nd child is due March 31st, so… not this year
I was actually hoping to launch my 3d printing book at MRRF 2017, but I probably still need ~4-5 months to finish it anyway.
@Ryan_Carlyle I fully agree Ryan!
@Ryan_Carlyle two is exponentially more work than the first. The are like velociraptors, they become pack hunters… So watch your back
But seriously, congratulations.
