Front¶
Where we distinguish the universal front that can carry different hotends or compact extruders like Hemera or Aero

Components that provide mounting for different hotends on the universal front, there are also face support parts that provide additional mounting points for extra hotend stiffness and redirect air from the hotend fan away from the print
Top¶

Back¶
Different for motion systems - CoreXY is the default.
Bottom¶
