This hotend base is intended for Ender 3 V2 Neo. The original model didn't fit, due to a different design of the carriage plate, so mounting holes are in different places. I couldn't find a good way to place the mounting holes, without changing the place where hotend is originally mounted, which would means more changes to the printer or design would be needed to keep the full printing area.

To solve that, I removed the original mounting holes entirely, and instead, this model is designed to use the printer's hotend mounting holes. That way, the hotend is placed in exactly the same position as originally designed, while the base is securely fixed to the plate.

I also had to cut the corner to the cables management, as it was hitting the endstop bracket. Despite that, the original wire cover can be used.

This model will not fit the original Ender 3 v2 neo hotend. I'm using it with Red Lizard V5 Pro V6 hotend, but it should also fit any hotend of similar size.
