Compact E3D V6 / TriangleLab Dragon HotEnd Mount with 40mm Fan Shroud

cults3d

This is a remix (but for some reason I cant link as a Remix) of 2 parts to create a compact / minimalist TriangleLab Dragon hotend mount for a Creality Ender3 / CR10 that also includes a 40mm fan shroud for re-using the stock Creality fan. Why ? Unlike an E3D V6, the TriangeLab Dragon does not ship with a fan shroud or fan. This allows the stock 40mm fan to be re-used - and is quieter than the smaller 30mm fan included with E3D V6 fan shrouds. This combination of parts provides excellent nozzle visibility - from both front and left side view. Part cooling duct is height adjustable to suit your preference. I was able to re-use the metal BL-Touch mount that came with my probe - but there is a 2 piece BL-Touch mount on the first link below. In the past Ive tried several part cooling ducts (petsfang, Hydra etc) with 2 air ducts facing each other, and had problems with warping and bed adhesion - I think due to the 2 air streams smashing into each other. For me, a single fan duct blowing air in 1 direction (as per Creality stock setup) is more stable. YMMV. The parts I have remixed, or included here (to maintain a complete solution) are based on these excellent works: Original Mount design, plus optional BLtouch mounts etc: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3393889 TriangeLab Dragon Fan Duct: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4367051 Mount Bracket with Cable Holder (unmodified): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4662345 File: 1_4662345_MMM_E3D_V6_w-Duct_Mount_v2_with_cables_holder_V2.stl Part Cooling 5015 Fan Duct (unmodified): https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4362390 File: 3_4362390_NEWDUCT_5015_Fan.stl The new part I have created (by remixing 2 of the above) is: 2_V6 Bracket with 40mm Fan Adaptor v1.0.stl Requires the following hardware: * 2x 6mm M3 bolts for attaching the bracket to the Creality carriage plate * 2x 40mm M3 bolts to secure the 40mm fan shroud to the bracket * 1x 10mm M3 bolt to secure part cooling duct * 3x M3 nuts * 1x 5015 part cooling fan UPDATES: 23/12/2021 - Uploaded V6 Bracket with 40mm Fan Adaptor (Top Reversed).stl
