Kossel Delta Hot End Cooling Manifold E3D V6 Remix

thingiverse

After printing the remixed cooling manifold for the Folgertech Kossel 2020 Rev.B, I revived it from its former state and decided to upgrade to a V6 hotend instead of the original V5-ish one that came with it. To maintain consistency and compatibility with my Tronxy X5s, this change seemed like an obvious choice. It's not exactly rocket science; all I had to do was shorten it by 7mm and slightly adjust the clamping area for the top of the heatsink. Additionally, I brought the sides closer to the heatsink to force more airflow through the fins. Yes, it was a real pain in the neck, and I had to redo it twice before getting it right. That's why I only created the version that interested me. The holder for the inductive approach sensor is pretty much useless, so next time I need to print one of these, I might remix this design without it. Alternatively, you can use some epoxy putty to hold the sensor in place. On a delta printer, a Z probe needs to be perfectly vertical or else the resulting geometry will have a tilt to it. After getting tired of fiddling with it, I just switched to manual delta calibration in Klipper instead. This design didn't cause any clearance issues with the magnetic effector initially, but when trying it out with the original effector, the heatsink fan was too high. To fix this, I added a small spacer that you can print; it's 2mm high, but you can scale it to whatever height suits your needs in your slicer.
