Tevo Tarantula E3DV6 Extruder Carriage MOD

grabcad

The E3D V6 Extruder mount is compatible with TEVO Tarantula X Carriage. It comes with all required hardware in standard locations and can be installed using 2 M6 bolts and nuts. Note that the E3D tip sits slightly higher than a standard tip, necessitating a Z height adjustment of about 5 mm. To simplify your setup, I have included the Marlin firmware I use for my Tevo Tarantula printer. This open-source firmware may require some tweaking to work on your machine, and I take no responsibility for any issues arising from its use. My firmware has functioned well for hundreds of hours, but it's crucial to verify all settings and limits before uploading and printing. I recommend checking the notes in the firmware as they highlight the specific values I changed. Since my build followed "ArcadEd"s tutorials, your limit switches and travel moves should match mine. However, if you downloaded this extruder carriage and firmware, you're likely a printer novice who has experienced numerous failures like myself. As my extruder is an Ebay clone, PID settings for the thermistor might differ from the original version or your cloned variant. To achieve optimal temperature control, I suggest downloading "pronterface" and learning how to perform a PID autotune. Even if everything works well initially, it's advisable to conduct an autotune periodically, as it significantly enhances temperature control. If you have questions or appreciate the files, feel free to reach out, and contributions are always welcome. I hope this setup works seamlessly for you, and happy printing! Additionally, I've provided 2 STLs titled "3 wheels" and "4 wheels." These components can be used independently or combined with my Part Cooling fan design, which is not compatible with the original E3D V6 Carriage.
