Derivative of "ANet A6 E3D Titan + V6 Carriage" and other things

thingiverse

**Important Notice** This design has a significant flaw, which becomes apparent when the carriage is raised to the top of the Z-axis. The blower fan will collide with the control button. A much improved design can be found at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3532470. You should definitely check out that alternative design instead of this one. --- I've been searching the Thingiverse for a functional carriage that combines an E3D Titan extruder with a V6 hot-end in direct drive configuration. After finding several designs that were almost what I needed, but not quite, I decided to merge them into a single design. This assembly was built on top of an amazing Z-Carriage assembly that I had incorporated into my Anet A6 some time ago. This design is not original; it's simply a humble reuse of someone else's clever designs. I'm grateful for the authors who shared their work. The design is modular, composed of several interchangeable components. The largest component is the carriage support, which serves as a base where all other parts are mounted. This allows you to modify most aspects of the carriage without wasting too much material. This version includes two braces: one keeps heat cartridge and thermistor cables in place, while the other can be used to tie cables with zip ties at the back of the motor for a tidy setup. There's a flaw in this version: when the carriage is raised to the top of the Z-axis, the blower fan will hit the control knob by just a millimeter. Although it's still usable as is, I'm redesigning this mix to solve that problem. The carriage support will remain unchanged, but most (or all) of the smaller parts will be modified. This design was created with BL Touch in mind, but it can easily be customized for any sensor; only the part named "Anet_a6_Titan_BLevel_Touch.stl" needs to be replaced with a part that fits the probe being used. In this version, the X-Endstop switch is located on the inner side of the left Z-Carriage, and I made a modified version of that part with two holes to support the switch. Other related parts from the Z-Carriage have been updated by removing unused holes. I strongly advise using the original E3D Titan extruder and hot end, as well as BL Touch. Unfortunately, I used clones (not cheap ones) due to budget constraints; they're working beautifully, but I don't feel it's correct to promote them here. For assembling the Extruder + Hot End and the BL-Touch, please follow the instructions on the corresponding websites carefully. To calibrate the Z-Probe offset, I've prepared a small tutorial that should work for any kind of probe; you can find it at https://docs.google.com/document/d/1KbU63_I9K4DNDwm1uIddBBGw_8SfmYV-aPgQBS2N20U/edit?usp=sharing.
