Creality CR10/Ender 3/5 Bondtech/ V6/ Volcano direct drive 40mm hotend fan

thingiverse

This is a custom mount designed to accommodate a Bondtech/V6 direct drive, featuring an integrated hotend shroud and duct compatible with any 40mm axial fan. Important note: This mount is not intended for use with the stock extruder stepper motor; instead, it requires a pancake stepper or it will hit the X limit switch housing. In response to user feedback, several improvements have been made: All sections of the mounting plate are now thicker and stronger, ensuring added durability. A clamp has also been implemented to securely attach the mounting plate to the X carriage plate, eliminating any movement caused by the moment of the stepper and extruder. The duct is now secured from both sides, preventing any twisting or movement. The 5015 blower is secured with two fixings for added stability. A notch has been added to accommodate the fixing lugs on some 5015 blowers. Additionally, the BLTouch can be removed and replaced without disturbing the Z offset using a single bolt. The effective part cooling nozzle geometry remains unchanged.
