Elephant Head for Anycubic Kossel

thingiverse

The text describes a set of modifications to improve the cooling system on a 3D printing hot end. It includes: 1. **Elephant's Trunk**: This is a three-part duct that allows you to attach a fan to the effector plate, improving airflow and reducing noise. The parts are designed to be printed in ABS and can be glued together using an acetone-ABS slurry. 2. **Tidy Spring**: This is an optional addition that fits into the recess on the top of the J6 mount (elephant's body). It serves as a stress-reliever for the Bowden tube and provides a mounting point for the hot end wiring. 3. **Volcano Parts**: If you plan to use Volcano with your J6 hot end, these parts can be used to extend the setup by 10mm, which is not ideal due to cooling duct and Z-Probe issues. The Duct_Riser screws into the factory effector plate in place of your duct, allowing for a duct of your choice to be attached. The Z-Probe_Riser mounts between the Z-probe and its magnet. 4. **Important Notes**: It's crucial to recalibrate your printer from scratch after making these modifications. This is because the J6 mount leaves the extruder nozzle slightly shorter than the factory setup, allowing for tolerance in printing and preventing potential crashes.
