Summary

CR-10 Heavy Duty Modular E3D V6 Mount

This is a mount for the V6 hot-end by E3D that is stronger and more rigid than some of the mounts that are out there. This mount also comes with an array of possible options for any extra functionality as attachments on the sides.

The minimum you will need to print out is the body and one of the faceplates. There are a variety of wings for different combinations, additions and customizations.

NOTE: Only left side parts are in the library of wings. To print a wing for the right side simply mirror the part in your slicer.

Remix

Based on the V6 mount by graham01
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2471011
and the dual 5015 fan mod by RebelRousingProps
https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2274499

I found some issues with the V6 mount file, also missing was support for dual 5015 fans and an ABL sensor so decided to make my own. I've also made my own library of parts.

If you would like to use a 40mm heatsink fan and don't want to use the integrated ones I've made. Then you can use this part https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:929326 which works great with this mount.

special shout out to Chris Ragucci who helped me test these parts and provide feedback.

Update 1

• Fixed the 5015 fan wings. correct measurements, centred with hot-end
• ABL sensor mount also centred, ie Y offset = 0
• Minor improvements to Mount body

Update 2

• Optimised wings to not need as many supports (needs new body)
• Created new body with better mounting to x-carriage and updated wing rails
• NEW PART: 30mm fan mount (40mm version to come soon)

Update 3

• Fixed a minor issue with the face plate
• Optimised the V6 30mm heatsink fan mount faceplate
• NEW PART: 40mm heatsink fan mount faceplate

Update 4

• Removed logo (wouldnt print correctly)

Update 5

• Updated 40mm fan mount - shouldn't blow air on to heat block (needs testing)

Update 6 (major update)

• added holes back to the rear of the body for more compatibility
• resized holes for nuts, made them tighter as they were too loose and not being held correctly
• fixed clearance tolerance for heat sink, it now goes in tight without having to be forced in
• Added logo for e3D and V6 to face place to help with orientation during assembly. Fan mount version didn't require it but added for consistency
• NEW FILE: Added new STEP file of the wing base so people can create their own wings

Update 7

• NEW PART: new version of the 5015 fan mount with ABL. ABL mount has been moved forward 12mm. this is mainly because the origianl ver, when used on the left side, hits the gantry

Update 8

• NEW PART: V6 Volcano mount (needs testing). fully compatible with all wing modules, covers and heatsink fan mounts

Update 9

• NEW PART: New mount for BLTouch (might do fan combo later). Note that the BLTouch sits in the arm as per the image. This so the sensor sits at the height indicated by the spec and leaves enough room for the screw that secures the moudule to the body
• NEW PART: V6 mount designed for aluminium casting. Such as shown in these Youtube vids
