Wanhao Duplicator I3 Bowden Extruder for E3D V6 / Clone I wanted to install a Bowden extruder on my i3 but I had some requirements of my own. I couldn't find one that meet all the requirements so I set out to make a hybrid of two great mounts by JonBAL and Tech2C. So I present the ChandersV6R0! Skills Needed Patience Soldering Troubleshooting Tools Needed Standard set of allen keys provided by Wanhao Soldering iron / solder / heat shrink Snips 3D printer to print the parts Parts Needed E3D v6 (J-head) hotend for 1.75mm Comes with cooling fan, heat break, heating block, heater cartridge, nozzle, PTFE tube for 1.75mm Some cable management tubing M3 and M4 nuts screws and bolts of assorted lengths 12V DC 50mm Blower Radial Cooling Fan Parts Reused M4 screws that hold existing assembly to the bearing block M2 screws for X-Axis Endstop Thermistor (I didn't want to recompile the firmware for another thermistor) The stock heater will not fit the new heating block so you will need to get one with the kit READ IMPORTANT! This mount changes the Z and Y distances of the hotend. You WILL need to print replacement mounts for the end stops. I used these two Z - Here Y - In STLs DO THIS NOW!! Extruder Stepper Motor Mount Once we remove the assembly we will need to find somewhere to put the extruder stepper motor. I used these. NOTE these mounts are made for a specific pneumatic fitting diameter. MAKE SURE the one you print will fit your pneumatic fitting. X-Axis Belt Mount Once we remove the assembly we will need to find somewhere to anchor the X-Axis belts. The assembly has two M4 hole locations that will be used to zip tie the belts to. NOTE I printed this section of the mount at 100% infill since it will have to bear the forces of the tightened belts. I also used these tensioners to tension the belts when complete. Bearing Mount This assembly is for a Wanhao i3 and clones V2.1. If you have an i3 that is
