Information

Magnetic Effector with 3 Fans and LED Light Ring for Kossel Plus

The E3D version was designed and tested to work with an E3D hotend or a Geeetech all-metal hotend.The J-Head version has been tested to work with a Genuine J-Head hotend.I use the z-probe temporarily for auto-calibration.You might want to use these with my carriage designs.If you need the ball studs, I had quite a few made, so I offer them for $1 each.I also precisely build carbon fiber arms to work with these.2016-02-15: Updated to add versions for J-Head hotends, add the z-probe, and tightened the part which secures the hotend.2016-03-28: Updated to add a version which works with the Ultibots K250 carriages (for use with 2020 extrusions).

Technical

- Up to three 5015 centrifugal fans similar to these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/6-pcs-Brushless-DC-Cooling-Blower-Fan-5015B-12V-50x50x15mm-2-Wires/141324730524 - An LED light ring, which has an outside diameter of 60mm and inside diameter of 50mm. There are many inexpensive ones on Amazon and eBay. - 6 ball studs (which I sell for $1 each, plus postage). - 6 M3 Nyloc nuts for the ball studs. - 2 M3x10 socket head cap screws and 2 M3 nuts. - an M3x25 socket head cap screw and M3 nut for each fan. - a small amount of tape, for shimming the hotend, to make it tight. Silicone glue or caulking, or rubber cement also works well. - a switch if you would like to use the z-probe. I only use the z-probe for auto-calibration and then I remove it. - a 30mm axial fan, if you are using a J-Head.

@Ian, The center-to-center distance between the ball studs is 48mm. Sorry it has taken me so long to reply, but I was on a sailboat in the Caribbean without much internet access for the past few weeks! :-)

What's the distance between the magballs (center to center)?

The ideal size LED light ring has an 60mm outside diameter and a 50mm inside diameter. You can find them inexpensively on eBay and Amazon.

Great effector. Just printing another for a spare as I just had to replace mine after a series of unfortunate events... I had a hard time finding a light ring with the correct dimensions to fit inside the groove, got a 60mm OD with a smaller ID that works ok though. Thanks Haydn for the great design and thanks for the CF magnetic arms, they are working great!
