E3D V6 cooler with BL Touch

thingiverse

This is a modified version of Tom114's original Prusa inspired cooler and part fan for the E3D V6. It was designed as a more compact, all-in-one solution for hotend cooling, part cooling and auto leveling than any available alternative. The design includes a mount for the BL Touch from Antclabs and is compatible with almost all setups using a direct drive E3D Titan extruder, as well as most direct drive and bowden setups that were compatible with Tom114's original model. Nut traps are used for ease of securing the sensor, and the model should be printed in some form of high-temp material to prevent deformation. It is crucial to note that this version is toleranced for the new BL Touch smart version, and may not work with the original classic version. The creator cannot test it as they do not have a classic on hand. If there is interest, they may be able to make a version for the "classic" type sensor based on reference measurements from Antclabs; leave a comment if you're interested. Good luck on your auto leveling endeavors! Pics will be available within the month. Update: The original file does not work as tested, and the BL Touch was too high, causing the hotend to crash into the build surface in any attempt to level the bed. An updated file has been added which moves the sensor ~3mm lower, found to be an optimal placement through testing. It appears that reference models used were not quite to spec for the physical item. The .step files have not been changed and still reflect the original incorrect part.
