E3D Titan V6 mount to Printrbot Simple Metal

thingiverse

This is my way of mounting an E3D Titan extruder with E3D V6 hot end to my printrbot simple metal. This approach allows for the Titan/V6 to be optimally mounted for direct drive (I am hoping to print with some flexible filament). It works pretty well with the caveat that you need to raise your bed to about level with the body of the printer and you need to print (the included) Y axis endstop spacer and mount it so it hits the Y endstop. I will try and take pictures describing this. I did not include any mounts for raising the bed, as I just bought a 1/4" piece of glass and placed washers between the bed and bed mounts for enough height. Others may prefer a different approach, maybe including a heated bed? You also may need to mount your bed sensor with the nuts both on the "inside" in order to raise it enough. I made the stepper mount with a hole to attach it to the frame of my printrbot but I didn't end up using it because it is mounted so tight without it. Some of these designs are derivative and I apologize if I used your design without crediting you but I modified them quite a bit a while back and cannot remember where I got some of the stl's I started from. I will do my best to find them in the next few days and attribute their use. Print Settings Printer Brand: Ultimaker Printer: Ultimaker 2 Rafts: Doesn't Matter Supports: Doesn't Matter Resolution: 0.2mm Infill: 35% but not really too important if you are using 0.8mm first and last layers Notes: None of these are particularly difficult prints. I suggest ABS as both will be close to some fairly hot stuff. You may need a raft if printing in ABS. Post-Printing Simple Stepper mount to the Titan drill hole or don't it mounts so tight it doesn't move. Also seen is the Y stop spacer next to the back of the bed level cord. Because this setup is much higher you may need to mount your bed detector much higher by placing the nuts both on the Z-STOP Spacer (Basically just a simple U clip).Seen at the back of the stepper motor (black ABS).
