Description
This is a print head for using the E3D V6 or Volcano hot end. I set it up to use either a single or double 50mm (5015) fan setup. I may in future make holders for the square 40mm radial fans if there is a demand for it. this setup also has the option of using a 40,, cooling fin fan instead of the noisy little 30mm one that comes with the V6 series.
Update 12-2: added parts for using the 40mm blower that no comes with the printer, can be used as a dual fan setup if you mirror one fan holder. You will of course need an addition 40mm blower fan. ebay and Digikey are your friend.
Screws you will need all are socket head cap screws listed:
(some you may be able to reuse from the X5S kit)
M4X25 x 3 for hotend cap and fan (4 if using dual fans)
M3X6 x1 fan angle adjustment
M3X10 x2 plate attachment
M3x20 x4 40mm cold side fan
M4 nut x3 (4 for dual fan)
M3 nut 1-2
reuse small screws for the endstop for the dual fan base
FYI the single fan set up is more than enough for printing PETG @ 0- 20%. I haven't printed in PLA with it yet with it. I'm sure its fine as PLA needs more fan and the 5015 can deliver.
If you decide to use the wheel support back plate you will need longer M5 screws. I think the ones I got were either 40 or 50mm long, and I got nyloc nuts to go with them. will try to check later on the length.
I'm sure I left something out, so if you get stuck post up a comment. It is pretty straight forward though. as always any feed back on making it better is welcome.
