Anycubic i3 mega direct drive hotend
Description
This is my custom hotend for the i3 mega. To mount it you need to have this carriage: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2838383 I know it may seem intimidating to dismount so much the printer to fit this carrige, but trust me it's way simpler than you may think. It allows you to have a universal carriage to mout on many different hotends. (For example: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2894777 ) I designed it so that: 1) It's super easy to print supportless. 2)It has detachable pieces so the maintnance and customization is easy. Also it's way easyer to print it this way. 3)It accomdates for a BL Touch. (I'm yet to get one so I can't confirm thah the mount is at the perfect hight) 4)The direct cooling fan shroud slides in place and it's retained by just one screw so it's super easy to customize it and swap the new one. (If you create a new one please let me know, I might swap mine for yours or add it in the prodject) Disclaimers: 1)There's a little "flaw": the X carriage is mounted on has the little pcb too close and is difficoult to put the wire in place. I'm working on replacing that part ,which can be unscrewed and swapped, for a better one. Also I'm planning to remove the pcb entierly and use dupont connectors for the wiring. 2) The hotend is not the original stile, but it's a bit longer. If you adjust the direct cooling fan shroud you should be fine.
