Monoprice Select Mini E3Dv6 Zero Offset Mount by USWaterRockets

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

This collection of things combines to form a E3Dv6 Hotend mount for the Monoprice Select Mini (Malyan M200) 3D Printer.
These parts were created as part of our ongoing project to maximize the performance of the Monoprice Select Mini Printer. You can read about our other mods on our Hackaday.io page located here: https://hackaday.io/project/14823-monoprice-select-mini-maximum-3d-printer-mods
The differences between this mounting adapter and others you may have seen are:
1) The nozzle XY position is almost exactly the same as the stock nozzle, so you don't lose any of the useful print area of the hated bed.
2) The nozzle Z height is almost exactly the same (depending on how you adjust the heat break) as the stock nozzle, so you don't lose adjustment range of the bed leveling screws.
3) The mounting bracket has an integrated belt tensioner feature, which eliminates the stock spring clips.
4) The hot end cooling fan airflow is dedicated to cooling the hot end only, and is isolated from the printed part. This reduces warping and layer separation of ABS and exotic filaments like Polycarbonate.
5) A removable (with no tools) clip on part cooling fan can be installed for PLA and other filaments which require rapid cooling for overhangs and bridges.
6) Dual LED lights are integrated into the part cooling fan, to illuminate the printed part.
