Kossel effector for E3D V6

thingiverse

Here's an effector head for E3D V6 on a mini Kossel or any delta printer that uses the standard mini Kossel head. I was unable to find a suitable effector so I designed one myself. The result is currently being used on my mini Kossel with great results, but if you notice any issues or have suggestions for improvement just let me know. Additionally, please point out anything missing that you believe should be included in this description. The probe part has been optimized for use with a 2mm allen key and requires a length of approximately 77mm to fit the mechanical switch as well as the manually operated optical switch. However, when using an Optical Z-probe with magnet retraction, the required allen key length needs to be slightly longer at 80-85mm. Using the part cooler with probe support for this option is highly recommended. A special thanks goes out to Marco Robustini for suggesting this component and assisting in its development - his input has been invaluable. For further reference, you can also watch the video featuring a similar effector setup by Marco: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bCDQ0ObWXnk&t=7s And here's another useful resource for a BLTouch probe system: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPdJW-fVP-E. Probe calibration is necessary with the settings of Y=-7,5mm and X=-13. Be sure to orientate the probe towards the X tower during installation. Please also note that you should align the E3D V6 head as shown in the pictures for optimal performance. To print the parts successfully, it's recommended to use ABS or PETG filaments. Try layer thickness of both 0.2mm and 0.1mm using a 0.4mm nozzle for best results.
