Cr 10 Smart - e3d v6 hotend mount

Hello,

After a year-long break between me and the printer (cr 10 smart) caused by numerous problems and frustration (bed leveling, which I replaced with manual), I decided to come back to it and give it a new life.

After problems with bed leveling or the extruder, eventually even the hotend tried to annoy me.

Since two of my other printers have e3d hotends and I am very satisfied with them, I decided to install one in the CR 10 smart as well.

I designed a new hotend mount, taking into account the original bed leveling system, and additionally replaced the print cooling fan with a 5015 turbine (attached directly to the X-axis sheet to reduce the total weight of the hotend) and the hotend fan with a larger one (a proven system in other printers).

So all I needed to change was:

• e3d hotend (without heater and thermistor, because the original ones fit plug&play)
• 5015 fan
• fan 40x40x20
• a few m3, m4 screws. *m3x20 x6, m3 nuts x2, m4x20 x2 with m4 nuts.

I actually had all of this in my junk cabinet.

I had to add an offset of -10 in creality slicer because the hotend is slightly forward.

Finally, the printer came back to life and is printing like crazy. 🙂

So you don't have to replace half of the electronics (motherboard, etc.) for this printer to be able to do its job - as proof, the benchy was printed immediately after assembly and without major changes in the slicer
