TwoTrees Bluer Simple and Rigid Direct Drive E3D V6

cults3d

Description I designed very rigid and simplistic direct drive mount for my TwoTrees Bluer V2. I haven't found a solution that fits V6 hotend and have proper 5015 part-cooling fan. My main goal was to use a minimal number of external parts and keep the upgrade as simple as possible, while maintaining the high performance cooling solution. Main advantages to using this solution Very stiff design, no side to side wobble Minimal external parts required, uses a stock extruder motor No build area lost- nozzle is practically in the same position as stock hotend Part-cooling mounts are mirrored of a standard Ender-3 base plate mount, so you can print your favourite par cooling solution or other accessories! Efficient part-cooling solution- very good overhangs and bridges Adjustable part-cooling fan mount- you can fine tune to optimal airflow Parts required for this mod This mod uses mostly screws from original hotend solution, but you will need also: - 1x V6 Hotend - 1x 5015 blower fan - 1x 4010 fan - 2x M2.5 screws to mount hotend fan - 1x M3 long screw and nut for mounting part-cooling fan - 2x M3 screws to attach part-cooling fan mount - 2x M3 brass inserts for mounting part-cooling fan to base plate - Cable to extend extruder wires - Zip ties for cable management Instructions Print all three parts Add a piece of tape to fill a hole in v6 fan mount (I sliced this part in order to fit properly). Melt in two M3 inserts to base plate Attach base plate to original X carriage with stock screws Prepare V6 hotend and attach fan mount and fan Mount V6 hotend to BMG extruder Screw extruder and motor to the base plate Attach part-cooling mount and adjust height Insert 5015 blower fan and screw it in place Extend extruder cable and do some wire management Done :) Side notes If you don't have M3 inserts to melt into base mount, just make the holes smaller in your editing software and use M3 tap or simple screw to make base plate threads. The base plate mount was entirely designed by me, printing orientation is presented in one of the photos. Part cooling fan was inspired by @phelanp11 work (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3534197). Hotend cooling solution is a butchered version of @JamesK1 mount (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2449326). Printing all the parts took me 4.5h and about 60g of the filament. #End notes Feel free to comment and post makes. Likes will be greatly appreciated :) Happy printing :)
