Icarus toolhead (Anycubic Vyper)

DISCLAIMER !

This custom toolhead is still in development, the cooling system is quite basic and probably wont be sufficient for high speed printing.

Updates log :

Beta : 

• Fixed every obvious problems I had with the alpha like the printhead being too close to the bed or the lack of visibility for the printing. 
• The hotend leave now more space between it and the bed and had its useless volume reduced
• The 50mm Fan got changed for the stock 40mm one since it was too powerfull and cause the revo 6 to use way too much energy to keep the heat.
• the screw hole near the pcb plug got reworked since it was getting in the way and now the toolhead fits perfectly
• I also discovered that the screen might get in the way of the printhead, u will need to adjust the screen height ( I personnaly dont use it since I changed for klipper )
• Also reworked the cooling ducts, should be better but I'm not sure, anyway the current ducts aren't adapted for fast prints, should stay below 100mm/s

alpha: 

Icarus was made to be equipped with a direct drive system currently made for the sherpa mini (and other extruder with the same mounts) and the E3D revo 6 hotend. For the hotend I use an adapter remixed by HerzZorro that allow me to keep the old levelling system and also the whole PCB.

Icarus is divided in 2 parts, the front and the back the front is pretty obvious to print and the back must be printed with support only for the 4 top surfaces and the fan duct.

For the toolhead you will need : 

• 10 M3 insert I personally use this one : https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B08BCRZZS3?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title
• 6 M3x14 (At least) flat head socket cap screw (not forced to but that is what is used and the front part have fase made for it 
• 8 M4 x 20 mm cylindrical head
• 8 M4 Nut 
• 1 5015 blower fan

Print  settings : 

• Infill 7%
• Crosshatch (3D honeycomb)
• 2 or 3 walls as you want
• Use heat resistant materials for the back part because I am not sure the cooling part will handle the heat by being this close to the nozzle, currently trying how pla behave on long prints
