If you have made this thing and find it is useful, a lot of filament being wasted together with time and effort being put in to produced this design. Please
...Plus consider leaving a tip. Thanks!
My new design E3D v6 clone x-carriage for Anet A6 which I like call it ZEUS X-Carriage.
Through numerous trial and error, from filament jams and clogging of nozzle. This is the final designed I came out that works flawlessly with any filament I throw at it. And this x-carriage is designed for e3d v6 clone with full metal throat. This X-Carriage E3D v6 Heat sink must be cooled using 2 powerful 30mm cooling fan installed in a Push Pull configuration to PREVENT jamming experienced by numerous user.
This is a modular x carriage design and it is designed to be used as direct drive or bowden. It has the mount for the following extruder or configuration:-
1. Direct Drive with 3d Printed NSTT Extruder with 3 to 1 Gear reduction ratio. Extruder can be downloaded from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2090259
2. Direct Drive with E3D Titan extruder with 3 to 1 gear reduction ratio.
3. Direct Drive with Anet A6 Stock Extruder (Mk8 Extruder)
4. Bowden setup.
Also include a BL Touch mount for those who want to use BL touch auto bed levelling.
Marlin firmware BL Touch probe offset setting:
define X_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER -29
define Y_PROBE_OFFSET_FROM_EXTRUDER +27
Extruder e_step
for stock extruder
define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 100, 100, 400, 95 }
for e3d Titan or NSTT extruder and extruder stepper must rotate in reversed
define DEFAULT_AXIS_STEPS_PER_UNIT { 100, 100, 400, 422.53 }
