x-carriage and hotend mount for Hypercube Evolution Prusa MK3 Bowden

prusaprinters

<p>I was not really happy with the hotend- and part cooling fan setup in the Hypercube Evolution. I used the hotend-mount designed for the Original Prusa MK3, removed the stepper motor mount and attached it to the x-carriage. For this I removed multiple holes and added new ones to make mounting as easy as possible. I had to change the top part of the hotend mount as well to allow space for the nut and the shorter heatsink. A mount for the ir probe for the duet wifi was added:</p> <p><a href="https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/mini-height-sensor-board/">https://miscsolutions.wordpress.com/mini-height-sensor-board/</a></p> <p>To allow the space for the probe I had to trim down the fan-duct for part cooling. The fanduct design is not final. You might use a simple 3mm spacer and use the "original" MK3 fandcut (this is the short term fix I use for now).</p> <p>The LM10UU x-carriage and belt-clamp by geoffsim was modified to mount the MK3-derivated parts.</p> <p>This hotend-mount completely eliminates the use of the endstops. If you want to use endstops you have to come up with a solution yourself (I use skipped step detection on the Duet to home x/y-axis). This design is for the "new" E3D threaded heatsink:</p> <p><a href="https://e3d-online.com/v6-threaded-heatsink">https://e3d-online.com/v6-threaded-heatsink</a></p> <p>To assemble this hotend mount you will need:</p> <ul> <li>1x 50 blower fan (part cooling)</li> <li>2x 40mm radial fan (cold end cooling)</li> <li>E3D V6 with threaded heatsink</li> <li>M3-Screws and nuts (you'll need 2-4x M3x45 screws to attach the hotend mount to the x-carriage)</li> </ul> <h3>Print instructions</h3><p>Category: 3D Printer Parts</p>
