E3D v6 Layer Fan Remix for Longer Block on MPSM

thingiverse

This revised design adjusts the clip openings by 2mm and lowers the air outlet by 2mm to ensure secure connection to the E3D V6 mount and prevent the outlet from touching the hotend. The slope of the clip arms has also been modified so they touch the build plate. I recently acquired both a genuine E3D V6 and several clones. Notably, the genuine model boasts a longer heat block than its clones, which have undergone design updates. Initially, I employed Toy's version, but with the genuine hotend, both Rocket's and Toy's designs now come into contact with the extended block when the sock is in place, causing melting and print issues due to inadequate cooling. After conducting several tests, this revised model has proven effective. It sits above the nozzle, preventing it from getting caught on a glass bed, and maintains a safe distance from the hotend, eliminating the risk of melting. Please be aware that I edited the STL file in Autodesk Maya to make adjustments, but Maya struggles with importing STL files. The printed result remains identical to the original or Toy's design, albeit with some visual distortion. This model is designed for printing as-is without supports, and I'm still learning about Thingiverse, so I'm not equipped to provide additional modifications or upgrades.
