If you enjoyed this project and want to say "Thank You," please consider supporting me by sending a tip on Thingiverse or my PayPal account. I wasn't able to find a simple and compact carriage for use with the Titan extruder, E3D V6 hotend, and BLtouch, so I created my own - Goliathus extruder. I'm using it on my custom Anycubic I3 Mega, but it should work on all types of Prusa printers with this mount: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:926794. The fan duct isn't ideal, but it works. Unfortunately, it's not as good as the stock one. If I'm not happy with the results, I'll make a better one in the future. I was inspired by this carriage https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2023947, but I designed mine from scratch on my own. Also, check out my I3 Mega ULTIMATE upgrade guide! There's a lot of knowledge that may help you get the best results. You can find it here: http://bit.ly/2OVbu5Z You'll need: - 40x40x10mm 12V fan: http://bit.ly/2FMJ0X3 - Titan extruder (E3D clone): http://bit.ly/2rn4u7r - BLTouch: http://bit.ly/2p8kWYe - 5015 Sunon Fan: http://bit.ly/2pLkG2l - J-Head v6 (E3D V6 clone): http://bit.ly/2uslKNx - Pancake stepper motor. I'm using the original E3D ultra slim 24 (400 step) motor, but you can order "Set 2" of the titan extruder mentioned above and it will come with a pancake stepper motor. - Some M3 screws and washers. - Belt springs: http://bit.ly/2LUlQ90 (optional, not recommended. Why? Check my I3 Mega guide: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2901190) These are affiliate links. The links above are for parts that I recommend. You can use original parts from E3D, but they're much more expensive. **Attention!** Even with a really low-mounted heated bed, it's limiting the maximum height. Mine is about 199 mm, so please check it before you print tall models. Also, you'll need to print this part: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838383 to install this extruder on Anycubic I3 Mega. It may be tricky, but as you can see in the photos, it's possible. **Changelog:** - 19.06.2018 - I made a new fan mount that allows you to adjust the height. Also, I was trying to make a better fan duct, but I couldn't achieve better results at this moment. - 14.09.2018 - Added .STP files. I don't have time and energy for finishing this project, so I hope that with these files someone will be able to make a better fanduct for this build.
