BLV Printhead using Zesty Nimble and Zesty Kryo, with BLTouch - VERSION 2

thingiverse

I am presenting my revised version of the BLV printhead design, which shifts a significant portion of its weight to the back for an improved distribution. This adjustment also allows me to have less visual mass in front of the print nozzle, making it easier to see what it's doing and adding a clear indicator for the centerline of the nozzle. Additionally, I was able to lower the nimble even closer to the kryo, and made some general tweaks for better fitment. This revised design is the one I've built for myself and has been fully constructed and verified. A key change I made was switching to a 1/2" loom cover to accommodate the tubing and wiring more effectively. The parts included in this version are designed for that specific size. In the coming days, I will be providing more detailed information on the construction process as a guide to help with assembly. Furthermore, I have included the patchboard files so that users can easily create and utilize the part. I decided to separate the hotend wiring from the patchboard in this design, which allows for a wider range of wattages since the original patchboard is limited to 40 watts at 24v. For users working with 12v, the wattage limit is even lower. In the near future, I plan to develop a variation that accommodates a Piezo Orion.
