V-ION TZ V6 2.0 Hotend mod

Current status:

I have been running this mod on my Virtu E3 without any issues for a few weeks now. Unless an issue comes up, or the V-Ion Toolhead is changed in a way that breaks this mod, I consider it finished.

What it do:

This mod enables the use of the budget-friendly TZ V6 2.0 hotend with standard V6 nozzles on the V-Ion Toolhead, without any loss of print area.

This mod only affects the main body (th-body) of the V-Ion Toolhead and is compatible with all the other default parts, including the standard ducts, mounting plate, and probe mount.

!!Important Note on Nozzle compatibility!!

Since this mount is designed around the widely available standard V6 nozzle, it is unfortunately not compatible with the short stock nozzles that usually come with the TZ V6, as they are noticeably shorter.

A link to a version of this mod that is compatible with the stock nozzles can be found further down.

What you need: 

• 1x TZ V6 2.0 Hotend 

• 1x generic V6 Nozzle (the stockTZ V6  nozzles are too short!)

  • I can recommend Phaetus or Triangle Lab nozzles. High-flow nozzles are overkill for this hotend.

• ~30g of filament

  • I recommend ABS, ASA, or a carbon fiber blend of either.

• a slightly longer PTFE tube

  • This is needed because the filament path between the extruder and hotend is longer than stock.

No additional mounting hardware is required compared to the stock hotend mount. (You will still need the standard hardware and extruder parts listed in the official BOM.)

If you want to use the shorter stock nozzles, this might be the mod for you! :
