Anycubic i3 Mega Hotend Overhaul

This overhauled hotend housing allows you to see the printhead easily, allows for adequate cooling of the heat sink, hides all of the wires by moving the plugboard behind the x-carriage, and also has a modular part cooling duct that can be changed if you don't like the current design. Tired of not being able to see the print head easily, I found and printed an "open hotend" modification from Thingiverse. After a while, I got tired of seeing wires hanging everywhere and decided to rebuild the hotend with a different setup. After being unhappy with another rebuild, I decided to make my own hotend assembly and ended up with this! All parts should be relatively support-friendly and shouldn't need too much help. The parts are oriented in the best possible way for printing. Exercise your judgment when adding supports. E3D V6 Hotend Clone Remix by dalton3699 (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3899753) (Thingiverse) Make sure you read the directions before you start this project so you know what you're getting in to; some parts of assembly can be very difficult and frustrating. Needlenose pliers and a small mirror may be of great assistance. This modification will cause the printer's hotend to be a little off center. Remember to add an origin offset of X = -2.6mm and Y = -3mm to recenter all of your prints. Notice: A problem has come to my attention where Cura users are unable to enter negative values in their Nozzle offset X and Nozzle offset Y settings fields. This is a known bug in Cura 4.1 by the development team and they say it will be fixed in Cura 4.2. Getting the beta version of Cura 4.2 should fix the problem and allow you to enter the offset values correctly. (Thanks flupsiflo for bringing this up!) Remember to share a make if you complete this project; I'd love to see how it turned out.
