@Sanjay_Mortimer Does anyone know if the technical drawings for the kraken are available? I would like to design a X-axis for my mendel max 2.0.
@Tim_Rastall nicely posted his Ingentis Kraken mount earlier, I hope it is okay that I reposted it for others. Thank you! https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3uiE-urF0rKRVN2S1VRaDByemM/edit?usp=sharing
Np.
@Stephen_Jensen here is the view of the top face:
The four M3 holes closest to the corners are for mounting. The central side-to-side channel is for water flow, with the two holes intersecting that the water in/out ports into which barbs screw.
The remaining four holes are where the heat-breaks slide into.
Hope that helps! I’ll post the full set of drawings for manufacture, but there are too many would-be copycats out there for me to pre-release them ahead of ship date.
Thanks so much! That makes sense about holding off releasing all the documentation. One more question, will the cooling connectors be able to plug in the side like a video you gave before? I’m working on a quad extruder that would have a pretty short bowden tube and it would be easier to have the cooling tubes come out of the side so I wouldn’t have to worry about the cooling water hitting the hobbed bolt.
We eventually opted to get rid of one of the side holes - keeping it in meant that the whole part had to undergo a whole extra manual flip and machining cycle as it is the only feature on that face. It was adding around 20-30% extra cost to the part for that one hole, so we scrapped it.
On the bright side, you should be able to drill and tap the extra hole without much hassle, or have the water enter from the one side and exit from the top face so you only have one water tube to deal with.
We are also using very commonly available 1/8th BSP fittings in this revision, so you could just replace our supplied straight barbs with some 90 degree elbow barbs on the top holes so that water exits sideways. Fittings are very cheap on eBay and the like.
