Da Vinci 1.0 to E3D Nozzle conversion block

thingiverse

I stumbled upon a few E3d conversions and thought to myself... wow, that's a complete waste of currently available parts. So I took matters into my own hands and designed this. It uses this temperature sensor (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07P71W23H/ref=crt_ewc_title_srh_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A3RVABGG6YFRTA) and any E3D nozzle. I've tested the sensor with my Da-Vinci 1.0 using Repetier, and I'm thrilled to report that it works flawlessly. To install this, simply solder the temperature sensor to the old sensor socket and use insulated disconnects in case you accidentally reverse the cables. Make sure to secure them in place with hot glue. Have this made from Brass at a local machine shop. If they ask what threads are required, bring the nozzle and the hot end disassembled, and let them figure it out themselves. Then, use high-temperature epoxy to secure the heating element to the block. Next, print the Z sensor block and place it below where the Z sensor makes contact - it's all plug and play from there! Happy printing!
