E3D V6 Mount with Fan for CTC / Flashforge / Replicator - Reversible

thingiverse

I loved the design by MacNite, but I wanted to show off those beautiful E3D heatsinks! So I took his design and re-mixed it so that the fans would mount on the back and the E3D heatsinks would be shown in all their glory... I note that even with my changes, the mount can still be mounted the way that MacNite designed it - it's really your choice. I also made some improvements: I modified the mount so that both hotends are adjustable about 2mm in total, making leveling quite a bit easier. I increased the wire 'tunnel' size a bit to make wire routing a little easier. I added a fin to force about 60% of the air to the lower portion of the heatsink for better cooling (where it needs it the most). I shrunk the mounting holes for the fans a little bit so that M3 screws will thread right into the plastic with no need for long screws and nuts for the fans. I note: I re-used the CTC Heater Blocks, Heaters and Thermocouples from the original CTC hotends, but used everything else from the E3D clone Hotends (IE: E3D Heatsinks, E3D All Metal Heat Brakes and E3D Nozzles). 7/19/2016 - I added a couple of re-mixes of the Bowden Coupling mount for PC4-M6 couplings. There are two designs - one simply has a 2mm path for the filament, the other has a 4mm path in order to mount a piece of 4mm OD PTFE tubing in the end to extend all the way to the extruder's gear & bearing. Make sure to use a drill bit to clean up the inner surface! I note that these are UNTESTED - so if you print and use them, let me know if they work out well so that I can update this text. Printer: CTC Dual Rafts: No Supports: Yes Resolution: .25 Infill: 60% Notes: Supports are only needed for the mount point - so if you're using S3D, just add them in manually there (where there is a 90 degree overhang). Everywhere else should be fine without support.
