E3D v6 hot end mount for Anycubic Linear Plus

thingiverse

I was struggling to find an effector mount that fit my new E3D v6 hot end on my Anycubic Linear Plus delta printer perfectly. The designs I came across either didn't match the hot end when printed, or I just didn't like their complexity and bulkiness. So, I started taking precise measurements and decided to design one myself. I aimed to keep it simple and lightweight while still fulfilling all the required functions (part cooling fan, mount for Z level sensor, and minimal waste of Z height). The result is a design that I'm pleased with overall. As the most complex thing I've designed yet, I opted to attach the top of the cold end directly to the plate to keep things straightforward at the cost of some Z height. When I revisit this design in the future, I'll aim to have as much of the hot end above the effector plane as possible, which will also help reduce any tilt from the delta rods. Here are the key features: - All screw holes are designed for M3 screws and nuts. - The spacing between the delta rods is 52.2mm (measured on my printer). If you need a larger spacing, you can use washers; if you need a smaller spacing, I've included an editable .rsdoc file as well as a plain effector STL with drill holes for other attachments. - The fan mount securely holds a 40x40x10mm fan with standard hole placement and uses M3 holes snugly. - The Z level sensor mount fits sensors with an 18mm diameter thread. Secure the sensor using nuts on either side. I recommend securing the delta rod screws with nuts on the other side of the effector mounts for added stability. Currently, I've secured my screws with a small amount of glue as I haven't got long enough screws yet (a M3x25 screw might do the job). Edit: I've also added an option to mount a 50x50mm blower fan as my part cooler wasn't quite doing the trick.
