XYZ da Vinci 1.0 Pro E3D V6 Drop-In Cartridge Mount

thingiverse

The text appears to be a log of updates and notes from an individual who is designing and manufacturing a custom drop-in cartridge for an E3D V6 hot end. The writer has been making iterations and refinements to their design, noting changes they've made and issues they've encountered along the way. Here are some key points summarized: * The writer used #4 washers and screws from Home Depot to secure the heatsink clamp. * When mounting the E3D V6 hot end into the cartridge, it's essential to route the heater and thermistor wires behind the cartridge and run them up next to the fan shroud to ensure a proper fit. * The nozzle on this custom design will sit lower than the stock nozzle, requiring an adjustment of the z-offset (in this case, from 0.6mm to 8.5mm). * The writer has updated their STL file for v1.5, which includes a shroud around the heat sink more like the fan shroud that comes with the E3D V6 kit. * They've also shared a video of the custom drop-in cartridge in action on YouTube. The writer invites others to print and test the latest version of their design, providing feedback and suggestions for improvement.
