My hotend is re-drilled to 0.5mm. My new 30mm fan is mounted and sounding nice and powerful. My hotend it heating up. Now for extrusion tests. I hope I can get this up and running soon. I need to print a new hotend mount and then start designing a custom hotend mount for when I make my own hotend.
The filament did curl to one side, but of course then it also danced some. Maybe I should print a fan shroud when I print that hotend mount. hahaha
I will try a quick extrusion test tomorrow and then print the hotend mount and fan mount/shroud for the hotend.
Sounds like fun.
I am going to print this. If anyone has any better ideas, please let me know. It is to mount a clone of an E3D V6 hotend on a Rostock Max (delta) for single extrusion.
220c hotend. 100c bed. 30 mm/s 1st layer. 80mm/s other layers. 10 sec per layer. 10mm brim and now it is turning out okay on the first layers. I had bed adhsion issues at first and had to lower the nozzle 2.5mm and change a number of the settings when I started out. I am also hoping that this shroud is for 30mm and not about 1in fans. If it is the wrong size, I guess I can look for another shroud or OpenSCAD one. I have made shroud STL files before.
Oops. i do have some curling off of thebed for one part.
My print is complete and now I just have to wait for tomorrow so that I can disassemble my makeshift extruder mount and assemble my freshly printed mount. I will also need to locate the appropriate screws, but that should not be a problem.
It seems that I need either an absurdly long screw or two coming from each ends to do the assembly.
Hmmm…nope, the hotend is not long enough to use this mount as designed. I will need to make some adjustments. After trimming, I should be able to use the aluminum spacers that I have and then trim off some of the top wall of my fan mount and use zip ties or something and I should be good to go.
Oh. I do not see the link that I thought I had posted. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:622082
