Anycubic i3 Mega-S silent hotend

prusaprinters

<p>This is an alternative hotend housing for the Anycubic i3 Mega-S.</p> <p>It is mostly based on the silent hotend design by mileshkin but I removed the mounting location for the original parts cooler fan on the left side and put air vents on that side instead.</p> <p>Since this means that there is no parts cooler inside the hotend anymore an external cooler must be used with this design.</p> <p>A matching 5015 parts cooler fan duct that I designed can be found here: <a href="https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933312">https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4933312</a></p> <p>For assembling the hotend housing 6x m2x8 countersunk screws and 4x m3 nuts are needed.</p> <p>I chose to not use the "filament pin" method from the original design since I found that it didn't really work all too well and resulted in a really unstable assembly.</p> <p>Screwing the housing together properly just made it much more sturdy.</p> <p>I also created a small fan guide for the internal 40mm hotend fan.</p> <p>It improves hotend cooling by forcing the airflow through the heatsink.</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer:</strong></p> <p>Anycubic i3 Mega-S</p> <p class="detail-setting rafts"><strong>Rafts: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Supports:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting resolution"><strong>Resolution: </strong> <div><p>200</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>15</p> <p><strong>Filament:</strong></p> DasFilament PLA <p>Black</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Parts
