Micro-Swiss Conversion for Voxelab Aquila S2 Hotend adapter

thingiverse

The included files should allow you to convert Voxelab's proprietary hot-end to a Micro-Swiss style all metal hot-end. Besides being an upgrade to the strange heatsink design, also allows the use of standard MK8 threaded nozzles. The adapter fits onto the existing mount for the direct drive, allowing you to keep the direct drive whilst adding a proper all metal hot end. You should be able to use the standard screws that comes with your all metal hot end to fasten to the adapter. You will also need a short length of PTFE tube to go between the adapter and the heat-sink. Recommend that you have the heatsink and heatblock oriented the same way as the above pictures. Since the all metal hot-end will be taller, there is also an included fan shroud that is taller than the original. Still a work in progress. Print with at LEAST PETG. Using something stronger like ASA would be even better. I was able to have a functional part with PETG and didn't have issues for a couple of prints, but ASA will last longer with less movement. Being at the top of the heatsink I have not noticed any weakening. Heat creep shouldn't be an issue. BE SURE TO MOVE YOUR Z-LIMIT SWITCH BEFORE YOUR FIRST PRINT! Since this is taller it will definitely crash into your bed if you don't adjust.
