"Gandalf V2" - CR-10 Direct Drive Extruder Mount (V6 / Bondtech)

thingiverse

This is my 2nd version of a direct drive extruder mount for the CR-10 (the original can be found at: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3755269). I've combined a Bondtech dual drive geared extruder with an E3D V6 hotend to create a direct drive extruder unit that surpasses my 1st version in several key areas. Compared to the original, this updated design boasts notable improvements: * A 40mm fan is used for heat sink cooling, providing significantly quieter operation and enhanced cooling performance. * The part cooling fan is height-adjustable, as is the BLTouch mount, allowing for greater flexibility and customization. * The nozzle position is now much closer to the original CR-10 hotend, resulting in a full build area that's not compromised. So far, I've achieved exceptionally good results with this design. For context, my other printer is an Artillery X1 equipped with a genuine Hemera, and I'm confident that this direct drive extruder mount will deliver similarly impressive performance. To configure the probe offsets in Marlin, use the following code: ``` #define NOZZLE_TO_PROBE_OFFSET { -47, -22, -2.0 } ``` Please note that you'll need to calibrate the Z value yourself to ensure optimal performance.
