E3D v6 hot end mount for Anycubic Linear Plus

thingiverse

I was having trouble finding an effector mount for my new E3D v6 hot end on my Anycubic Linear Plus delta printer. The designs I found either didn't fit the hot end when printed (on a calibrated printer) or I just didn't like the design (over complicated/bulky etc). So I started taking measurements and attempted to design one myself. I tried to keep it as simple and light as possible while still performing all the functions I required (part cooling fan, mount for Z level sensor and waste as little Z height as possible, printable with as little infill as possible). Overall I'm pretty happy with how it came out. Being the most complicated thing I've designed yet I opted to mount the top of the cold end to the plate to keep things simple at the cost of some Z height. When I revisit the design at a later date I will be trying to have as much of the hot end above the effector plane as possible, this will also help to reduce any tilt from the delta rods. - All the screw holes are designed to fit M3 screws and nuts. - The spacing between the delta rods is 52.2mm (measured distance on my printer). If you need a larger spacing you could use (or print) some washers. If you need a smaller spacing I have added the .rsdoc file that you can edit. There is also the .stl for a plain effector that only mounts the hot end, you could drill your own holes for other attachments. - The fan mount holds a 40x40x10 fan with the standard hole placement. This also uses M3 holes and mounts snugly. - The Z level sensor mount fits a sensor with a 18mm diameter thread. Secure the sensor using nuts either side of the sensor. I would recommend securing the delta rod screws with nuts on the other side of the effector mounts. Currently I have just secured my screws with a small amount of glue as I haven't got long enough screws yet (a M3x25 might do the job). Edit: Also added a mount option for a 50x50mm blower fan as the fan I was using for the part cooler wasn't quite getting the job done.
