E3Dv6 printhead mount for Ultimaker Original

By JonnyBischof

at 2024-05-02
This is a mount for putting the E3Dv6 hotend (3mm Bowden version) into an Ultimaker Original.I strongly recommend you buy the full kit: http://e3d-online.com/E3D-v6/v6-3mm-BowdenYou will need most of the parts (such as the blue fanduct, screws and so on). Note that you can ask E3D to swap out the 12V cartridge for a 24V model, depending on your needs. DO NOT use the 12V standard cartridge from the kit with the UM original (19V), as this would run at a much higher power than intended!This mount may fit other printers, as long as they use the same x-y gantry (6mm gantry shafts, with the Y-shaft 18mm higher than the X-shaft. See UM Original source files for details and bearings used.This design is a derivate of my E3Dv5 hotend mount, which was a derivate of Nick Foley's "E3Dv5 integrated printhead", published on Thingiverse.com.My goal with this mount is:1. Get solid, reliable performance2. Optimize size & weight for maximum movement speed & maximum build size3. Make it print reliably and without problemsFeature abstract:- Easy to assemble using only two main parts- Strong construction using self-tapping screws- lightweight and (hopefully) aesthetic design- Built-in cable management for clean and tidy lookI'm re-using Nick's fanduct, so you will need to get it from his design:http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:121074Instructions (short version, PDF documentation coming soon):- Print every part the way it comes in the STL. No support needed, but use Brim.- Do not scale (!)- Use a 0.4mm diameter nozzle (such as the Ultimaker standard nozzle)- Print with 0.1mm layer height, 0.8mm wall thickness (2 passes) and 100% infillUse a material with very strong layer bonding and high temperature resistance. I strongly recommend using Colorfabb XT or a similar PET-G filament.More details on the PDF documentation-----------------------------------------V1.0.1 - july 8th, 2014------------------------------------------ Added PDF documentation (still work in progress, but the most important parts are there)- Slightly modified the fanduct mount (opened wiring guides, made support thinner)-----------------------------------------V1.0 - july 7th, 2014------------------------------------------ Finished design of main parts- Hotend mount fits 100% snug for my printsTo do:- Complete the PDF documentation- Add pictures- Add spacer ring to fix Bowden tube fitting in place (will not change existing parts!)- Add fixture for TC amp board (will not change existing parts!)Please do not hesitate to leave a comment if you have any wishes or problems with this design! I'm happy to help and improve it whenever I can!
