Tronxy X5SA Titan Aero Mount
Description
This E3D Titan Aero Mount is for the Tronxy X5SA although it should fit on the X5S. I have the genuine E3D Extruder and Motor. There are a couple of holes for the Z probe held in with M3 screws only, shouldn't need to tap the holes. Note the Z probe is in a completely different place to the original so I had to update the firmware accordingly, these changes are included in the settings file I have uploaded with my best stab at what the settings mean (edit this file in a text editor and re-save as .gcode). The nozzle is also in a different place, it moves to the front of the machine by about 15mm and to the right of the machine by about 10mm. If I had bought the pancake motor I would have been able to keep the X value the same. It is important that you update the settings prior to doing an auto level or homing the printer, otherwise the Z probe will miss the bed completely and try and drive the bed through your new extruder. There are holes to mount the X limit switch as well. I also moved the Y limit switch towards the back of the machine by 10mm as the Z probe was very close to the front Aluminium extrusion. To install. Remove the old extruder and the M3 brass fittings that hold the heat sink in place, leaving only the back plate. The new mount uses the 2 left hand M3 holes only to hold in place, this seems pretty secure. Mount the X axis Limit Switch. Install motor and extruder in accordance with E3D instructions. Mount the Z probe and adjust the height to within 4 mm of the bottom of the nozzle. Run the settings.gcode file on the printer. Hope this goes well, please let me know if there are any questions or improvements that can be made. Quick Update on temperature issues, the control board on the X5SA treats the bed temperature thermistor and the hot end thermistor the same and there doesn’t seem to be anyway to change this, therefore if you use the Titan Aero I suggest you leave the original thermistor in place otherwise the Hotend will be 40degrees C lower than indicated. I am compensating for this by adding 40 degrees to the temperature in Simplify 3D. I have also changed the maximum temperature the hotend is allowed to go and the minimum temperature it can extrude. 09/01/19 Following a enquiry, I have uploaded the STL for the part cooling fan duct, it should just push fit onto the existing fan. I have used a single screw to hold the fan in place and a little piece of PTFE tube (about 2mm thick) behind the fan at the screw point as the back of the fan is not flush. It isn't perfect or the final solution, but it works and is better than nothing. It doesn't need supports but will have to be rotated to print 180 degrees in the Y axis.
