Prusa MK3 Copperhead Groovemount Adapter

thingiverse

June 1, 2020 - I'm excited to share my Slice Engineering's Copperhead groove mount hot end adapter, a project that's still in its early stages and likely to undergo some changes as I put it through its paces. My goal was to get this out there for fellow early adopters who may be interested. Installing the Adapter: - Follow the instructions shown in the accompanying photograph and diagram to assemble the Copperhead. - Insert a PTFE tube all the way into the Copperhead. - Snap the Copperhead into the Extruder Body, which will mark the PTFE cut point. - Remove the PTFE tube to reveal a straight cut and bevel inside its top. - Use Prusa stock parts for the fan mount, nozzle shroud, and sensor assembly. Printing Notes: - Apologies for the orientation issue; I'll have it corrected soon. Print the Motor Mount and cover at 180 degrees rotated. - The Extruder Cover features an indent with the Copperhead logo. - If you're equipped with MMU capabilities, you'll find the logo included in the package. - Standard print specifications are as follows: PETG, 15% fill rate, and a .20mm Quality setting. Maintenance Note: A small hole is located inside the baffle, providing access to the heat break tension screw. This allows you to remove (drop down) the heat break/heat block assembly without disassembling the entire extruder. Simply remove the cooling fan to access it. More updates are on the way...
