E3D V6 Hotend direct drive extruder

thingiverse

This is a direct drive carriage replacement for Satoer's excellent E3D v6 Easy maintenance carriage. I designed this mainly to print flexible materials with ease. The main part is the door, which replaces part "[FelixE3DV6[coolerdoor[V1.STL]" (available at http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:484581). You won't need the original as this new version works seamlessly for bowder drive too. Other parts are specifically designed for direct drive with adjustable tension, a remix of http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:53125. To complete the set, you'll need to print the rest of the parts from Satoer's original design and optionally some parts from LuisCruz's remix for Felix 3.x. I've printed all my parts using PLA, and this DDE has worked flawlessly for nearly two years now. Attention: The fan duct from E3D v6 Easy maintenance carriage is only compatible with E3D V6. It won't work properly with E3D V6 Volcano! I've designed an adjustable holder and blower shroud that can be used if you're using Volcano.
