E3D V6 mount with 40mm coolers for Ultimaker

thingiverse

Mounting the E3D V6 extruder's hot end to the Ultimaker 3D printer involves several key steps and considerations. First, a pair of 40mm fans are typically used to cool the printed model as it emerges from the nozzle. When it comes to mounting the holder body for the extruder, there are two primary options available: one designed specifically for use with a 40mm cooling fan, and another that accommodates a larger 50mm fan. Both of these options provide optimal airflow to the hot-end radiator, ensuring consistent temperature control throughout the printing process. To ensure smooth operation, the holder body also features strategically placed holes to accommodate bearings of type LM6LUU. These bearings play a critical role in maintaining proper alignment and movement of the extruder's hot end. Key settings for the print include a layer height of 0.16mm, a nozzle diameter of 0.4mm, and a print speed of 50mm per second. The selected plastic material is PET-G, which offers excellent durability and flexibility. Finally, the model will be printed with a filling percentage of 100%, resulting in a solid and fully dense final product.
