Volcano Direct Mount for CR-10 printer by jailcee

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

These parts are designed to mount an E3D Titan with pancake stepper motor, with a v6 heat sink and volcano hot end to the CR-10 family of printers. Once assembled and mounted this will place the nozzle in the same position as the original hot end. It is designed to go onto the carriage taking as little space as possible so that no printing space is lost in any axis.
The parts for my build were ordered of AliExpress (Trianglelab) and can be seen in one of the stock pictures except that I swapped the hot end with a volcano.
You can choose to go with a 40mm fan, 80mm fan, or add a part cooling fan of your design. I added an improved 40mm which leaves a bit more room between the build surface and it. The original one can sometimes rub/catch on your prints depending on your layer height.
31/5/2017 Update: The 30mm fan that comes with the E3D works well but is loud. It is even louder when running the printer at 13v (for better heated bed performance). In order to deal with that I've added an adapter that lets you mount a 40mm fan in place of the 30mm one. It mounts at a 45 degree angle so that the fan body clears the left side of the gantry. Mount a 40mm fan with at least 7cfm and enjoy a much quieter printer.
