E3D v6 Bowden extruder for Wanhao i3 This include holders of step motor to top frame, x-carrage block for E3D and more. Need to buy E3D v6 (j-head) hotend for 1.75mm (include cooling fan, hotend fitting) PTFE tube for 1.75mm (1 meter) with cold end fitting (I use 0.5m only) Kit of nozzle for E3D v6 (line is very wide, from 0.2 to 1.0mm) Fasteners (M3 and M4 nuts, screws of different lengths) Mounting of the stepper motor It is possible to mount of stepper motor on the top of printer's frame only. May be I design a mount for another places. Holder v1.0 include Step_motor_holder_frame_v.1.0_nut.stl - 2pcs Step_motor_holder_frame_v.1.0_rest.stl - 1pcs Step_motor_clamp_v1.0.stl - 1pcs M4 nuts - 2pcs Short M4 screws (9-10mm) - 2pcs Holder v1.1 include (more difficult to print than v.1.0) Step_motor_holder_frame_v.1.1.stl -1pcs M4 nuts - 2pcs Short M4 screws (9-10mm) - 2pcs Cold end I use: Stock parts of MK10 kharar's MK9 bowden extruder - MK9_bowden.stl M3 screws 20mm - 2pcs Extruder E3D v6 mount X-axis belt holder is mount on bearing block: E3D_hotend_base_v1.0.stl (need add support in nut's holes) or E3D_hotend_base_v1.0_wSupp.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%) E3D_hotend_clamp_v1.0.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%) X-axis_endstop_holder.stl - 1pcs M4 nuts - 2pcs M4 screws (40mm or more) - 2pcs M3 screws (7-8mm) for x-endstop holder - 2pcs Stock M3 screws for mount cable chain - 2pcs Stock M2 screws for mount x-endstop - 2pcs X-axis belt holder is mount on screws in back side: E3D_hotend_base_v1.0.stl (need add support in nut's holes) or E3D_hotend_base_v1.0_wSupp.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%) E3D_hotend_clamp_v1.0.stl - 1pcs (infill 50-60%) X-axis_endstop_holder.stl - 1pcs M4 nuts - 4pcs M4 screws (40mm, not more) - 2pcs M4 screws (20-25mm) for back side - 2pcs M3 screws (7-8mm) for x-endstop holder - 2pcs Stock M3 screws for mount cable chain - 2pcs Stock M2 screws for mount x-endstop - 2pcs What else need to start? You need desicion few questions: If you install this extruder, than change height of nozzle. It will be higher than stock extruder. You need move the Z-axis endstop below. Not more Z-axis adapter can move down. I desing this simple adapter, you can use it. Print this before installing extruder! It is not critical. In this extruder nozzle misses on the bed. You can make Y-axis endstop adapter and fix it. Modifications You may have noticed a lot of holes in mount extruder. This is done for easy mount additions and need M3 screws (7-10mm). You can make Wire_clamp.stl for fixing wires. Cooling I make the adapter (Fan_holder_for_saldots_design_v1.0.stl) for saldot's desing fan holder. One adapter include: Fan_holder_for_saldots_design_v1.0.stl - 1pcs M3 nut - 1pcs M3 screw (20mm) - 1pcs M3 screws (7-10mm) - 2pcs And I design mount for radial fan 50mm, it is very efficient. But printing is not simple: you should be able to make bridges. Radial_fan_50mm_mount_v1.0.stl - 1pcs M3 nut - 1pcs M3 screws (20mm) - 2pcs M3 screws (7-10mm) - 2pcs Radial fan 5015 (size 50x50x15mm) - 1pcs Problems Maximum printing height is main problem in this realise. Height 160mm is limit for non-problem printing. If extruder lifted higher than 160mm, then PTFE tube rubbing the stepper motor. In the feature I desing new mount for stepper motor. This will increase the height of the print. Give back "I Made One", please. This is pleasant for designers))
