+title: i3 X carriage for EVA hotend support (LGXlite and Titan extruders) 
+---
+
+> Created by: [Petros Matsakos](https://github.com/mach0gr)
+
+## Description
+
+This was an attempt to revive my old Prusa i3 clone. 
+Taking inspiration from the [EVA project](https://main.eva-3d.page/) ,trying to use as much from EVA ecosystem and trying to fit it within the confined boundaries of i3 I came up with this conversion.
+
+Unfortunatley I only managed to utilize and keep compatibility with limited parts from the EVA ecosystem, particularly hotends, air horn and cable holder. Rest of the parts are more of a conversion kit for the i3 keeping however the EVA spirit.
+Regarding extruders, there currently two mount plates available to fit the conversion kit, for LGX lite and for Titan.
+
+
+A few photos below ilustrute the X carriage conversion on an i3.

+
+In the pictures below from OnShape, the green and black parts are from the EVA ecosystem while the ones in blue are the ones required for i3 modification.
