Kossel Pro Delta E3D V6 End Effector Version 8 by calviniba

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This is version 8 of my end effector for the openbeam kossel pro and other delta printers. It uses an E3D V6 and has fantastic part cooling.
Main goals for this end effector:
-fit an e3d v6
-avoid nozzle from getting too far beneath arms
-integrated hotend cooling
-great wrap around part cooling
-two piece hotend clamp
-standard 30mm fans
-no interference between end effector and arms
-secure arm mounting
-easily printable
-fan duct with ribbing to direct air
-fan duct nozzle close to print nozzle
Improvements from version 5:
-improved part cooling ducting for more airflow
-two piece hotend clamp
-more secure arm mounting- eliminates the round standoff
-easier to print- eliminated areas with small contact to the bed
-fan duct body allows for greater airflow
-fan duct body is further away from heater block to prevent melting/warping
-fan duct with ribbing to direct air
-fan duct nozzle close to print nozzle
Hardware List:
8x M3 4x4mm embedded nuts (NOT STANDARD 5.5mm HEX NUTS - pictured above)
M3 screws: 1x 6mm, 2x 8mm, 2x 10mm
6x 5/8" #4 thread rolling screws to mount fans
Print with supports set to 46 degrees to avoid support in hard to reach placesFor the fan duct, set extrusion width to .5mm, layer height to .1mm, and print super slow (30mm/s) to be able to print the overhangs properly with no support.
Dimensions:
Arm width: 41mm
Radius: 30mm
