<h2>New version available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3550294 </h2> First and foremost, I want to extend my sincerest gratitude to the following individuals whose contributions have enabled this model to exist. Titan: https://grabcad.com/library/e3d-titan-extruder-2 e3d V6: https://grabcad.com/library/e3d-v6-hotend-3 BLTouch: https://grabcad.com/library/bltouch-2 Prusa original MK3: https://grabcad.com/library/prusa-i3-mk3-solidworks-1 Prusa i3 MK2 Upgrade kit for E3D Titan Extruder by S±E: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2065461 I apologize if my English is not perfect. What I was looking to achieve: • View the nozzle directly while printing • Make the Titan compact • Install a Noctua 40mm fan to replace the noisy 30mm fan • Prevent air flow from reaching the heatbed when printing ABS • Limit mount weight • Reduce noise of the radial fan • Minimize air flow losses from the radial fan I essentially combined the S±E Titan mount, the 40mm fan mount + the Prusa MK3 hotend cover, and added a BLTouch mount bracket, all adapted to the Vslot openbuilds. In my opinion, I have successfully met all my expectations thanks to this model: • The assembly is reduced, allowing for more space • The nozzle is visible at all times, even from the first layer • The 40mm fan is mounted without an adapter • The 40mm air flow is directed upwards • The BLTouch is at the correct height and firmly secured (Zoffset +/- 1mm) • The radial fan is positioned at the rear, reducing noise perception and maintaining nozzle visibility • The assembly is lightweight (+/-50gr), I kept the spirit of the S±E design by creating empty zones with no infill • Radial fan air is exhausted directly, without any curves or long ducts causing flow losses Recommendations: I haven't tried printing with other plastics, but only ABS will fit for this mounting due to its proximity to the heating block. I highly recommend using a silicone sock to maintain nozzle temperature stability (make a PID too). The 3D printer must be well calibrated, and print slowly, especially on thin areas or areas with short layer times (hotend fins). Depending on your radial fan, you may need to make a small opening to let a fastening clip through; nothing difficult, but do it with caution. The holes for fixing the 40mm fan have minimal play, which is intentional to allow for optimal screwing adjustment. I personally printed all hotend parts at 101% scale to prevent ABS shrinkage. Material: All materials used are original => Titan & V6 from e3d, BLTouch from Antclabs, and gantry & wheels from Openbuilds. Test yourself with "unofficial" material; you'll need: • 9 x M3 nuts • 3 x M3x35 Screws already included in the e3d titan mounting kit • 7 x little screws (4 for the 40mm fan, 2 for the BLTouch, and 1 for the radial fan arm) • And 3 more screws for the radial fan All comments are welcome, especially those that can help me complete the description.
