Wanhao Duplicator i3 Plus E3D Conversion

thingiverse

This is an mod for the Wanhao Duplicator i3 plus to change from the existing hotend assembly to a more universal and available E3D V6 hotend assembly, heatbreak and heatsink. Since the part changes the geometry of the hot end, a modified cooling duct is also required. The mod uses the existing 40mm fans as a cooling fan for the heatsink and part cooling fan, and preserves the existing i3 Plus mount plate. Captive nuts are used to mount the heatsink clamp and cooling duct to the mount plate, and are also used to mount the 40mm fan to the cooling duct. One will need an assortment of M3 machine screws and square M3 nuts. Since this part is moving around on the x and z axis, keep it light to keep vibrations low and speed high! I had this printed in grey resin to withstand greater temperatures, but if you're only printing PLA, PLA should be perfectly fine.
