TEVO Tarantula Hot End Casing

thingiverse

Taking off bolts multiple times from an aluminum heat sink could irreparably damage the thread. The casing I designed not only provides protection from hot metal but also offers mounting possibilities for custom-designed brackets. You can create your own mount based on the available holes, with each hole being 3 millimeters in diameter. The distance between these holes matches those of a 40-millimeter fan and a 30-millimeter fan, measuring about 32 millimeters and 24 millimeters respectively. This casing also offers a sleek look and enhanced cable management. Print Settings Printer: TEVO Tarantula Prusa i3 - ReEngineered Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.15 millimeters (best for handling holes) Infill: Any, with a wall thickness of 1.3 millimeters Notes: I'm printing with ABS to handle the heat temperature on the heat sink. A slower print speed is better for printing curve overlaps. I used a minimum speed of 20 millimeters per second. Good retraction settings are also necessary. Post-Printing The other side features holes for brackets, both front and back, allowing you to attach fan shrouds from either side or the back. Dual radial fan brackets - Ideal for PLA printing How I Designed This I'm using Autodesk Fusion 360 to design this housing. Currently, I'm utilizing the Fankhauser's modular aluminum carriage, which I've inverted. The design is still in progress and I'm upgrading its height. Feature Added: Dual radial fans bracket (remixed from Supasorn's design - http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1850163) - In this remixed version, I adjusted the width and the thickness of the trunks for easier printing without supports.
