Tronxy E3D V6 Holder

thingiverse

This is the remix of my Holder with part cooling mount. This one doesn't have a cooling mount. The mount requires 4XM3 nuts and screws for the clamp and the fan. I highly suggest adding spacers. My first version had slots to drop in the nuts and screw but the PLA kept cracking with the pressure. So this version you have to press in two nuts, one on each side of the back (see picture). The mounting holes are for M4 screws of the radial fan, but I recommend using some M3 to give you extra wiggle room. I've done multiple iterations of the duct and the one present is the most effective one. Knowing that I worked with a CAD of the full assembly I've allowed myself only a 1mm gap in the Z axis between the nozzle tip and the duct (Subject to the hotend you have if it's a replica.) It simply presses into place on the fan, no glue needed. My stock fan had a broken wire so I replaced it with a blower for better cooling and drilled some holes in the plastic clip. I used the E3D V6 Blower Fan adapter by matt448 for that purpose (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1600018). WARNING: I have to warn you that my adapter shifts the hot end forward by about 5mm (see picture). So, I've designed a endstop bracket because of school constraints and lack of time. By experience, you might need to trim some tensioners if you want the full 150mm in the Y axis. So far, this hasn't caused me any problems. I used an exact CAD model of a E3D V6 with tight fit tolerances. But you might need to file a little bit to be able to insert it.
