Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago
This is a modification to Tom114's original Prusa inspired cooler and part fan for the E3D V6. It was designed to be a more compact, all in one solution for hotend cooling, part cooling and auto leveling then any available alternative. It adds a mount for the BL Touch from Antclabs, and should be compatible with almost all setups using a direct drive e3d titan extruder, as well as most direct drive and bowden setups that were compatible with tom114's original model. The model uses nut traps for ease of securing the sensor, and should be printed in some form of high-temp material to prevent deformation.
It is important to note that this version is toleranced for the new BL Touch smart version, and may not work with the original classic version. I cannot test it as I do not have a classic on hand. If there is interest I may be able to make a version for the "classic" type sensor, based of reference measurements from Antclabs, leave a comment if you're interested. Good luck on your auto leveling adventures!
Pics should come within the month
Update: ORIGINAL FILE WILL NOT WORK. when tested, the bl touch was to high so the hotend crashed into the build surface in any attempt to level the bed. An updated file has been added which moves the sensor ~3mm lower, which I have found to be an optimal placement in testing the part. It would appear the reference models I used, either the bltouch or v6 ones, were not quite to spec for the physical item. The .step files have not been changed and still reflect the original, incorrect part.
