Updates:

2024-12-19

1. Orbiter 2 compatibility tested. Plate uploaded. PTFE length cca. 33.5mm between the orbiter and the V6 Volcano full metal heatbreak.
2. CR-touch offset: x -33 y 0
3. E3D V6 Revo hotend compatibility tested with success.

Current features

• Supported hotends: E3DV6, V6 Volcano or any compatible normal and high flow hotends
• Optional BLTouch clones compatible mount
• 3010/4010 hotend fan variations. (V6/Volcano needs only 3010 to avoid heatcreep. 4010 works safely with only around 60% PWM setting)
• Prusa MK2 style trihorn fanduct
• Bowden setup compatibility
• Sherpa mini/sailfin/sharkfin direct drive extruder adapter
• LGX lite direct drive extruder adapter
• umbilical strain relief
• full legacy ender 5 family (normal, pro, plus) compatibility
• fixed normal flow and high flow screw holes for optimal height of fanduct and bltouch
• heat inserts with ID: 3mm, OD: 5mm, H: 4mm (max 14 pcs, based on hotend and extruder)
• ADXL compatibility

Printing and assemly

Printing orientations are:

• mount on the back (orca slicer default tree support, on build plate only)
• fan duct on the bottom standing (no support)
• bltouch mount on the face of bltouch (no support)
• hotend cover on the front face (no support)

If you plan to use only with Normal flow or High flow hotend, you need heat insert to the corresponsive holes only in case of fan duct and bltouch mount. Also the bltouch mount inserts are optional.
The back side you need 2 heat inserts. The correct position are the lowest points of the cones around of the holes.

ADXL sensor

You can attach the sensor under the hotend fan hole with 2 M3 hex nuts. You need to remove the fan to do this I know, but it is very near to the nozzle, so better to measure the resonance there.

Planned features

• Super Pinda ABL mount
• Improve fan duct
