Hypercube evolution - remote direct drive head

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is my remix of Hypercube Evolution head from heisenberg333 i liked and remote direct drive extruder from fredator i wanted to try.
Both of them have done great job. Send thanks to them too, if you like my remix.
I have edited only rear part of head to fit bowden extruder and to allow easier mount of BLTouch sensor. There are also few modifications on rear mount so this head will fit standard Hypercube Evolution carriage. Original version of head needs custom carriage with 2 more mounting holes.
If you want to use cable chain with standard Hypercube Carriage, you can use my mount for ModelStations cable chain which replaces one of belt clamps.
BLTouch offset is 26mm behind the nozzle (measured on my printed head, this can varry by little).
You will need:
1x E3D v6 hotend (or copy)
1x 40mm fan for E3D hotend
1x 5015 part cooling fan
1x BLTouch sensor (or copy)
1x Remote Direct Extruder with Bondtech Gears (30:1 Gear Ratio)" by fredator (see source for more info)
1x Optical endstop
1x 38mm long PTFE tube 2mm ID, 4mm OD (from extruder to hotend)
4x M3x8 HEX socket screw (BLTouch, endstop)
1x M3x10 HEX socket screw (fan duct)
6x M3x15 HEX socket screw (40mm fan, head front and back connection)
2x M3x20 HEX socket screw (5015 fan)
2x M3x30 HEX socket screw (extruder mount)
1x M3x35 HEX socket screw (extruder mount)
1x M3 nut (extruder mount)
1x GX20 14pin Aviation plug - panel version (optional for faster head changes)
2x M3x 5x5 Brass knurled insert (head connection)
5x M3x 4x5 Brass knurled insert (optional if you want inserts in extruder mounts and back plate)
My GX20-14 connector pinout is as belows:
01 - Thermistor
02 - Heater +
03 - Heater -
04 - Not Connected (can be used for X-MAX signal in another head)
05 - X-MIN endstop signal
06 - BLTouch SERVO signal
07 - Sensors + voltage - endstop and BLTouch
08 - Sensors - voltage - endstop and BLTouch
09 - BLTouch Z-MIN signal
10 - Thermistor
11 - Hotend fan +
12 - Hotend fan -
13 - Part cooling fan +

I have added archives for both original things, but i recommend getting fresh version from source links.
