Tronxy x5sa Orbiter 1.5 printhead

thingiverse

This is my tronxy printhead, it attaches an orbiter 1.5 extruder to the stock cooler and fan, and adds a 5015 radial blower for part cooling. *Update* added V3 nozzle and v2 fan mount. this makes the fan mount stronger, and improves part cooling at the nozzle of the printer. (both sides, instead of single sided) ABS is recommended for the v3 nozzle as well as a silicone sock on the hot end due to the close proximity of printed parts to the hot end. These parts will work in PLA/PLA+ however I then used mine to print an upgraded ABS version to allow longer term usage at higher temperatures without creep. The whole printhead is removable with 2x M3x50 bolts that attach the stock mount plate to the rest of the toolhead. The mounting plate fits on two of the stock heatsink screws and keeps the head in about the same place as it did originally. all fixings use M3 bolts and captive nuts with various lengths to suit. I recommend M3 Nyloc nuts to mount the heatsink and the long attachment bolts and you may want to use the tiniest drop of glue on these to retain them permanently so they don't fall out when you take it apart. I have used a bimetallic heat-break in place of the standard PTFE one and there should be enough adjustment in the fan position and touch probe mounting to allow for different length heat breaks and nozzles (although I don't' know about volcanoes as I don't have one). I used a short length of 8mm pneumatic pipe (as it was handy) to provide a support for the cables and filament feed tube, and I've included the end mounts for these too (this replaces the stock cable chain if you wish)
