Diamond Full Color Hotend Mount for Delta Printer

thingiverse

I'm setting up my SeeMeCNC Rostock Max v2 for full color printing, and I've opted for a Diamond 5 color mixing hotend. However, I wasn't too keen on the mount that came with it, so I decided to create my own custom mount. This new mount holds the hotend securely in place using clips and screws rather than zip ties, providing a more robust attachment system. It also features a light ring on the bottom and two layer cooling fans that blow air through a hollow triangle-shaped mount, enhancing airflow and reducing print times. The wiring harness is a standard 20-pin ATX power supply wiring harness extension cord that I've modified to suit my needs. To make it more manageable, I cut the harness in half, resulting in a neater setup. The custom mount is printed in two separate parts: an upper and a lower section. Initially, I tried printing the entire piece as one unit, but unfortunately, the hotend wouldn't fit into the triangle-shaped mount properly. To resolve this issue, I secured the two parts together using three screws. For the layer cooling fans, I've used 35x35x10mm blowers, while the heatsink fan is a 50x50x15mm unit. The light ring measures 80mm in diameter. Additionally, I've sourced aluminum mounts from SeeMeCNC to connect this setup to my Rostock arms, providing a sturdy and secure attachment system.
