CTC to Titan&V6

thingiverse

Hi,\nI'd like to show off the modifications I made to my CTC printer, which I bought three years ago. After making many adjustments, I was still unhappy with the resolution of the printer. Repeated problems with jamming were a major issue. My initial plan was to buy a new cheap Chinese printer that could be purchased for 150 euros. However, after completing all the mechanical modifications on my current printer, I was hesitant to start again with a new one.\nI decided to upgrade my E3D solution instead. First, I installed just the hot end, and secondly, I added the Titan extruder. I know it's a lot of work, but now I have exactly what I'm looking for.\nI used the original carriage and designed some additional parts for it. As you can see in one picture, I used thread inserts for the mount. If you'd like to modify the design, feel free to change it in the attached DXF file.\nOne other thing: as you can see, the design is prepared for an inductive Z-sensor and auto-leveling. A while back, I swapped my board for one from FlashForge with an ATmega 2560 microcontroller. Unfortunately, I've been unable to activate automatic leveling in Sailfish up to now. I installed the inductive sensor on the housing, which was a significant improvement. Since then, I've never had to level my bed again. I suspect that many problems are related to the reconstruction of the mechanical Z-limit switch.\nI'm very happy with this solution now. Of course, tweaking will still be necessary.-) https://youtu.be/2fGnYb4o8Wk
