Diamond Hotend Modular Mount Top

pinshape

This is a ring designed to hold the top end of diamond hotend heat sinks in place. To add versatility, I drilled 3x3.2mm holes through the part to accommodate various mounting configurations. The design was created entirely within FreeCAD. Designing This Part I referenced some part drawings and measured dimensions using calipers to ensure accuracy. I'm grateful for the individual who shared their "official" diamond hotend mount design, which inspired my redesign. After attempting to print this original design with limited success, I decided to create a custom solution that suits my specific needs. To overcome limitations in file compatibility between software, I leveraged the capabilities of FreeCAD and Fusion 360. While FreeCAD can easily import OpenSCAD files, including metal-only designs, Fusion 360 was unable to do so. I wanted to print just the hotend mount without the blower, but there wasn't a suitable STL available. To circumvent this issue, I imported the original design into Blender and deleted the blower lid before eventually deciding to start from scratch and create my own custom design.
