E3D Nozzle Holder for K8400 Velleman Vertex

thingiverse

I designed an E3D nozzle holder that can rest snugly on the edge of the Velleman Vertex K8400 printer frame, which I have found to be prone to shrinkage issues due to overheating during prolonged usage. To alleviate these problems, I enlarged the holes, making them a bit larger than they were initially designed. My intention is to make it easier for others to replicate this design with similar print settings, should they encounter similar difficulties. **Print Settings** * Printer: Velleman Vertex K8400 * Rafts: Not required for optimal adhesion * Supports: None necessary due to sturdy nozzle holder design * Infill Density: Set at 20% for lightweight yet durable parts * **Important Note:** This printer was printed on default settings, but with the following exception: * Retraction: Adjusted to 2mm in order to prevent hotend overextrusion This design can be accessed using FreeCAD software.
