E3D Fan Duct with DC42 Differential IR Sensor Mount (E3D Titan Version Available)

thingiverse

This is a pressure-mounted fan and differential IR sensor mount for the E3D V6 extruder. This is a combination of two excellent things, the E3D V6 fan shroud, and simon0362's slimline sensor mount that usually goes between the fan and the fan shroud. Simply screw the sensor board onto the mount, capacitor facing forward, and then screw the fan in. The mount clips to the heat sink exactly like the official one. Recalibrate your printer's M851 offset, and you're good to go. Creation pipeline: Slic3r for mashing up and slicing, pronsole to feed gcode, and a lovely wreck of a reprap printer. UPDATE: Added a version designed to bolt onto an E3D Titan above, for added vertical and rotational stability. Bumping or messing with the extruder with the simpler version can knock your offset out of what, requiring recalibrating the distance between nozzle and bed when at Z=0. This helps alleviate that by using the extruder body to keep the entire assembly at a constant distance. The added flange is a bit ugly, but sits level on the E3D Titan faceplate. Print Settings Printer: MendelMax 1.5 Rafts: No Supports: No Resolution: 0.3mm Infill: 30% Notes: Printed using MakerGeeks 1.75mm PLA at 30% infill, 0.3mm layer height. PLA on the fan shroud doesn't heat up to speak of, when kept above the heater block while printing. If you're at all unsure, print it with ABS or something with an even higher temperature tolerance.
