Hi, this is a work in progress THIS MODEL REQUIRES CREATING YOUR OWN CABLE/CABLES TO CONECT THE HOTEND COMPONENTES, BREAKBOARD AND PTFE COMBINED CABLE WONT BE USED ANYMORE, THE CABLE PART IS UP TO YOU this models uses 3 parts, a base that mounts on top of the current hotend, a top plate that mounts to the base plate, and a spacer that goes between the motor and the extruder. its designed to use m3 bolts or 1/8 bolts if you can´t find m3, like in Argentina for example (where i live). there are 2 base plates, an m3 version and an 1/8 version. chose one also there are 2 spacer, one to generate the same space has the hornet extruder and motor originale have, and other smaller if you using a different extruder, you may need to try between both to get correct bolt fitting from extuder to motor this design allow to easily remove the top part including the extruder and motor in just seconds list of hardware required: m3 version: 3 x m3x6 2 x m3x8 or longer 1 x m3x10 or longer 4 x m3 nuts (or 6 optionaly to secure base plate more) 2 x 10mm washer OD 1/8 version: 2 x m3x8 or longer (use 2 from the heatsink fan) 3 x 1/8x6 mm 1 x 1/8x10 or longer 4 x 1/8 nuts (or 6 optionaly to secure base plate more) 2 x 10mm washer OD also you will need some 3x4mm PTFE tube, length to be determined, 10cm will be enough How to mount: - disassembly hotend, and remove the break board, you wont use it anymore, then reassembly but leave the 2 screws that hold the yellow cover off - grab the base plate and insert 3 nuts on the spaces bellow. put the base on top of the hotend and put the 2 8mm screw but dont tight the too much, threads on the metal are not that strong, here is where you could optionaly screw 2 nuts from below to secure it even more. then put the larger screw between the back hole where the break board was located, use the 2 washer, one on top, one on the bottom and use a nut to secure it, tight this very well - Put the spacer between the extruder and the motor, the bottom part will long on a cut on the base, put the small rounded edge down and forward, then put the top plate inside the extruder and assembly the extruder, if there is a gap between your screws and the cover, you can use some of my spacers or cover on my profile: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5895467 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5780060 - grab the ptfe tube, it will be squished id place by the top plate when screwed, so now you need to find the length of your ptfe, it will depend on the position of your heatbrake, this means that now you can use shorter barrels like a standard bimetal v6 for example, you will need to start cutting a small piece at the time until you need a little force to make the top plate and the base meet -screw in place the top cover using the 3 6mm screws this are the screws that will be removed if you want to perform some maintenance sugestion for cable and fillament managment: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6129956 this is how far i got at this point, let me know your opinions, and issues found, tks if you enjoy any of my work, or it made your life simpler in any way, please consider showing some love as a few cents on the tips, if don't want or can't that's just fine, have a blessed day
