Creality CR-10 Titan Aero Mount (V6) + Volcano Version

thingiverse

E3D Titan Aero Extruder/Hot End Mount for Creality CR-10 Printer. This relocates the print head nozzle about 15mm forward on the printer. The vertical frame needs relocation to the rear to utilize the entire bed. I've installed the mount and calibrated my extruder settings. I'm using the E3D supplied stepper motor (0.9 degrees/step). Calibrated to 875 steps/mm on my printer. Next, I'll modify the firmware to update the temperature probe setting from 1 to 5 for Marlin, then start printing with it to see how it works. The little bracket I made for where the extruder used to mount provides a place to secure cables to the print head. Tap the hole for the PTFE tube fitting with 6mm thread. The opposite hole should fit a 4mm/6mm PTFE - just ordered some to try. I need four 3mm flat washers, two 3x10mm machine screws, and two 3x6mm machine screws to secure the mount. I used two 3x10mm machine screws and nuts for the cable bracket. Added CR-10AeroMount-r1.STL to work better with the slimmer E3D stepper motor (MT-1701HSM140AE) and allow motor leads to go straight up. The prior version of the mount was modeled for the earlier version stepper motor I received from E3D (42BYGHM208P4.5-21-X2). The 1701 motor is about 60g lighter than the 42BYGHM208, still offering 0.9 degree steps. March 06, 2019: Added a version of the mount for the Volcano heating block/nozzle. Stepper motor/Aero Extruder moved up 8.5mm so no changes are required to the Z end limit switch. When I changed from the V6 version of the mount to the Volcano version, barely had to touch the bed leveling nuts. Currently using the 0.8mm hardened nozzle.
