Griffin Pro 2.0 3d printer effector and probe for use with E3d

thingiverse

This was one of the last changes made to the Griffin delta, which utilizes an E3D hotend. Documentation for this change is limited, leading me to list it as in progress even though extensive testing has been conducted without adequate documentation. To install an E3D into a prior version requires almost all new effector wiring and we recommend hard mounting the bed. It necessitates an E3D V6 hotend and fan, 2x 40mm x 10mm blower fans with PWM (a crucial requirement!), 4x M3 x 60mm bolts, 2x M3 x 20 bolts, 4x M3 NYLOCK nuts, and 2x M3 nuts (not NYLOCK). Without PWM, you will experience limited fan speed adjustment. However, we strongly advise against this setup as it will blow so much air that it necessitates the use of an E3D hotend. You may want to consider switching to a 24v setup to keep up with the airflow requirements. We have conducted testing without the blower fans and achieved a temperature of 270 degrees Celsius without causing harm to the effector, even when printing higher-temperature PLA. It is essential that you use the E3D fan, which must be on all the time regardless of other settings. Without this fan, your hotend will jam, and the effector will melt. Side fans are mounted to normal fan control, while the E3D should be wired into the main power so that it remains on if the printer is turned on. It utilized 626Pilot firmware for better calibration, but the original firmware also works well (calibration instructions are included here). The probe used is a magnetic clip-on probe we tested before moving to E3D. It requires 4x 8x5mm round neodymium magnets, 3x #2 x 3/8 screws, and an Omron D2F mouse switch as a probe. This probe is far superior to the original FSR sensors used. The 626Pilot firmware (which is old but works well) can be found at: https://github.com/626Pilot/Smoothieware/tree/edge/FirmwareBin Before downloading, ensure you view the raw file or you will obtain an HTML file instead of the firmware. Calibration with this firmware is more intense and difficult but worth it. Config files are provided for Azteeg V3 and the probe, as well as a config file for an Xl with an Azteeg V1 (which can be used to create one for mids or minis if desired). To use these, rename it to "config" without quotes and copy it to the controller card. For slicer settings: * Differences from V1 include not needing fans to always run (excluding the E3D fan) and retraction should be 2mm @ 25mm/s These files are uploaded under Creative Commons - Attribution, allowing you to do as you please while providing credit.
