Pear Effector for Kossel Plus - with ABL and Zesty Nimble

thingiverse

This is the final version of my "pear effector" for Anycubic Kossel Plus. This version utilizes an Auto Bed Leveling sensor and a Zesty Nimble extruder, check out other "pear effector" versions here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3255033 (no ABL, no Zesty Nimble) and here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3255063 (with ABL, no Zesty Nimble). The Zesty Nimble is a remote direct drive extruder that offers excellent performance, allowing for 3D printing of flexible filaments; learn more on https://zesty.tech/products/the-nimble?variant=31732311297. CFD simulations have been conducted to optimize fan angles and maximize airflow and heat sink cooling. This effector incorporates an E3D-v5 heat sink from Anycubic's original kit, along with 3x 30x30mm fans, 9x M3 nuts, 2x M3 screws, 1x 20mm X 10mm X 2mm magnet, and 12x 5mm (diam) X 5mm (height) cylindrical magnets. The design of this effector surpasses the original Anycubic one by orienting airflow more effectively towards the heat sink and nozzle. As a result, 3D printed surfaces exhibit improved smoothness due to enhanced airflow around the entire area. It also becomes significantly harder for the throat to clog, as the heat sink is better cooled down. The Zesty Nimble extruder further enhances the ability to prevent clogging (virtually impossible due to its high torque) and simplifies the 3D printing process of flexible filaments. Using magnets to join the upper part (corpo) to the lower part (diffusore) makes maintenance a breeze, as it is easier to disassemble for repairs. This design also provides an added layer of safety in case the nozzle strikes the bed glass. However, one notable drawback of this design is that it can be challenging to 3D print materials like PET-G and others that require low airflow or even no fan at all.
