Hypercube Magnetic Quick Mount Printhead X Carriage by butchja

Last crawled date: 3 years ago

Hey there,
I present my very quick mountable Hypercube magnetic printhead. I personally use it with a lot of different nozzle diameters and V6/vulcano setups. Since you are changing the whole printhead you need following components for each head:
E3D Hotend full kit
Radial Fan
Cooling Fan
Bed Level Sensor
Dowel Pins
M4 screws are used to mount the E3D Mount centered to the carriage and transmit sideways forces.
Mount the Magnets
Purchase some magnets anywhere, e.g. from Banggood. The magnets shall be glued in. Consider PETG does not bond to glue so good. PLA shall be a better option in this case. I suggest to orient the magnets with alternating polarities. Additionally I added some tape to the magnet's surface to protect them from damage but this is optional.
Materials you needElectrics
D-Sub 9 Female for the printer side
D-Sub 9 Male for the printhead side

8x Neodymium Magnets (d=12x2mm)

An integrated electric connection with pogo pins would be worth a remix. The source files are for Design Spark Mechanical
