I've been tinkering with a new set of parts for my M2's and thought I'd share.
So far they are working great on the one machine that I have them on.
Feedback appreciated!

Oooh bookmarked. I want to print a set of these when I finally get idle time on a printer.

Hey Jim, your design inspired my dovetails!

Added a dial indicator mount for the Harbor Freight DI.

Hey, excellent work!
Only thing i find goofy is the 40mm bed fan, I already commented on your thing file, But I feel it would be super helpful to include a 50mm fan shroud and bracket.
Other than that, this looks superb.

with the right style duct i have found that a 40mm bed fan is all thats needed. it concentrates the cooling where you need it rather than a bigger fan blowing across the whole build plate.

Looks great. Do you know if its compatible with the dovetails on the E3D drive you linked to. I am running Jims version and would love to utilize the HF dial mount.

I don't think so. I made my drive based on the original Makergear design. I think Jim's looks larger- there is a lot more space on the side of the drive with the long v5 hotend.
I will see what I can do with the 50mm... I bought a bunch of 40mm BB 24v fans and that is all I use now.
