E3D V6 Hot end Mount for Ormerod

thingiverse

Mount the E3D V6 all metal hot end for the Ormerod 3D printer's ED3 variant. This replacement is a direct fit, with no loss of Z axis height. The combined hot end with an 11x40mm fan measures 42x40mm and weighs 83g, while the standard Ormerod hot end with its 20x40mm fan Measures 52x58mm and is 96g. Using a 35% infill for both parts reveals that the V6 assembly is not only smaller but also lighter than the stock hot end. During testing, no issues arose at 180 degrees Celsius for PLA prints, leaving no visible effects on any of the mount parts. For ABS prints, temperatures were kept at 250 degrees Celsius for one hour with no changes observed on the PLA mounts, yet caution is still advised when printing in higher temperatures. Instructions include: 1x E3D V6 hot end 1x 10x40mm fan 2(4) M3x40 cap head screws (recovered from the stock hot end) 2(4) M3 Nuts 2 M3x12 Countersunk screws (recycled from the stock nozzle mount) The E3D V6 assembly guide is available at http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6-Assembly, with recommendations to complete this before installing it on the printer. To configure the Duet for the Semitec 104GT2 thermistor included in the V6 kit, add "M305 P1 T100000 R1000 B4267" (for users with a standard Duet) or adjust accordingly if you're using the updated version with a series resistor value of 4700. Duet Firmware Ensure you are running the latest RepRap Firmware Version 0.78c or higher, available at https://github.com/reprappro/RepRapFirmware . Multiple forks exist; personally preferred is DC42's fork. Mount Installation Begin by printing the Nozzle mount and Fan duct. Remove the old hot end and nozzle while retaining the M3x40 screws and M3x12 counter sunk screws for future use in the new assembly. Take the Nozzle mount and insert 4 M3 nuts into the captive slots on its back, followed by attaching it to the X carriage with M3x12 screws. Secure the E3D V6 hot end into the fan duct after ensuring wire alignment through tie holes. Then attach a 10x40mm fan flat side and secure using M3x40 screws; tighten them for an effective assembly.
