Anycubic Vyper V6 Block Conversion

thingiverse

The Anycubic Vyper comes with a volcano heat block straight from the factory. The volcano block is intended for fast printing with the use of larger diameter nozzles. In my honest opinion, they are great for draft prints with larger layer heights, but not intended for smooth finish / high quality prints. For this reason, I decided to exchange my volcano block for a V6. I purchased the following for this upgrade: - V6 Copper Plated Heatblock: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NPKF2GC?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_XVYB462YD5KFV3X8R3QJ - V6 Copper Plated Nozzle (0.4mm diameter) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B098X1JP7D?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_P7XD835KTSHBMMDVKX3B - Bi-Metal Heatbreak https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DL8QP47?ref_=cm_sw_r_cp_ud_dp_D0JFWXZSZ3S0RDMTVK2X - ATC Semitec 104GT-2 104NT-4-R025H42G Thermistor https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005002487835892.html Install all the above components onto the original heat sink, and attach like you normally would to the strain gauge. The factory print head cover sits lower than the nozzle, so I designed a new one that sits about 3-4 mm higher than the nozzle. Also, the length of the factory Z-Stops prevents the ability to lower the nozzle low enough to successfully print. The V6 block is about 8 mm shorter than the stock Volcano block, so I measured the factory z-stops and designed one that is 8mm shorter. The print head cover was designed to use the factory 4010 fans and 4010 blower fans that came installed on the factory print head. You will need to cut the JST connector off the blower fans, and crimp on a new one after the blowers are installed in their designated ports. The blower fans do not require any screws for installation, as you will find they are held firmly in place. Each blower port has a square hole intended for routing the fan wires on the inside of the cover for a cleaner look. The front fan is installed with M3x16 screws and nuts. The print head has 4 mounting holes in the rear where you will need to use M3 inserts to thread the screws into from the back side of the mounting plate.
