Let’s play a game I like to call “Spot what’s different”

Earthing?

Might not be reliable with PLA with a straight-shaft thermal barrier. The M6 thread on the E3Dv6 cold end is important to keeping the cold zone sufficiently cool.

This is for a chimera

What kind of thermistor is that?

It looks like the nozzle/ heater block has already been used but I’m not seeing any thermal compound residue on the smooth heatbreak for proper heat transfer to the heatsink.

Other than that, looks genuine, stock components with chimera heatbreak, small gap between nozzle and block suggests it’s been tightened properly. What are we looking for here?

I think he is getting at that he is using a chimera now. Before I think he used dual E3D hot ends. Looks like he bought just the parts for converting it… Hence why the heartbreak is new and the rest is used.

… Did I win?

Nope no ones gotten it yet. I haven’t taken the nozzle and heat break off since the last time I used it.

Just trying to tidy things up a bit…

Oh, you flipped the thermistor mounting position to the opposite side of the block.

@Ryan_Carlyle - that’s true. @Mike_Kelly_Mike_Make is the goal here to have both heater blocks facing the same direction as opposed to 180 degrees apart from each other? That would certainly tidy a lot of things up.

GJ @Ryan_Carlyle , you win a free 3DBenchy post! Coming shortly I’m sure

Yup @raykholo that’s exactly the goal. I have a solenoid probe that mounts on the back of the heatsink and now I can use that design for either the cyclops or chimera.
