Griffin Pro 2.0 3d printer effector and probe for use with E3d
Description
This was one of the last changes to the Griffin delta, it uses an E3d hotend, however documentation is limited. Due to limited documentation I've listed this as in progress however much testing has been done on it we just never got it documented. It requires an E3d V6 hotend and fan, 2x 40mmx10mm blower fans with PWM (important!), 4x m3x60mm bolts, 2x m3x20, 4x m3 nylock nuts and 2x m3 nuts (not nylock). Installing an E3d into a prior version requires almost all new effector wiring. We also recommend hard mounting the bed. Without PWM you will have limited fan speed adjustment and this blows so much air you need it (you may want to switch to an 24v setup to keep up!). We have done testing without the blower fans to 270c with no harm to the effector even when printed in higher temp PLA. Just be sure to use the E3d fan, which need to be on all the time anyhow. Without this fan your hot end will jam and the effector will melt. Side fans are mounted to normal fan control, the E3d should be wired into the main power so if the printer is on, that fan is on. It used 626pilot firmware for better calibration but original firmware works as well (calibration how to is included here). The probe is a magnetic clip on probe we tested before moving to E3d. It uses 4x 8x5mm round neodymium magnets, 3x #2x3/8 screws and an Omron D2F mouse switch as a probe. It is far superior to the original FSR sensors used. 626Pilot firmware (it is old, but works well!): https://github.com/626Pilot/Smoothieware/tree/edge/FirmwareBin Be sure to view raw before downloading or you will get an html file rather than the firmware should you decide to use this. Calibration is much more intense , and difficult but worth it. Config files are for Azteeg V3 and the probe, a config file for an Xl with an Azteeg V1 is included, you can use this to create one for mids or minis if you want. To use thse, rename it to "config" minus quotes and copy to the controller card. For slicer settings: Differences from V1 are that fans do not need to always be run (excluding the E3d fan) and retraction should be 2mm @ 25mm/s EDIT: For some reason the probe files were not attached, I'm sure they were included but they weren't here. I added those plus pics showing the assembled probe, the pics are of the 1.0 version of the Griffin (J-head) but they assemble and function the same it's just slightly different shape. The magnets are glued in and just clips onto the bottom of the effector. The last photo shows how I use a pair of inserts to make a mount to hold it when not in use. You will want to make sure the bolts this sits against are flat, the probe will rock on them if all 4 are not flat. Just tweak them a bit until the probe does't rock. Also the switch can be fickle, the button should center under the nozzle, but the non-button side can sometimes hang down too far and prevent the button from activating. I tend to lean it a bit so the button side hangs down a little extra. Also I would HIGHLY recommend getting a bigger heater cartridge. I recently switches to a 40watt on one printer and it made a big difference. I have long suspected 30 watts was insufficient on E3d nozzles and after testing I can confirm it absolutely is. You do NOT need a 50watt, I put a 50watt in my bigger printer designed for higher temp filaments but it's completely overkill and some controllers will have a lot of problems controlling the power.
