Phaetus TaiChi Mount and FanDuct 4040Fans (deprecated)
Description
DEPRECATED made a new one: --------------------------------------------- I made and new and much better version which utilizes much better 5015 fans and can be used with an Bondtech LGX Lite for directr drive extrusion. I switched to Printables (Prusas site) so it is only uploaded there. https://www.printables.com/de/model/172064-phaetus-taichi-mount-and-fanduct-w-dual-5015-fans- ________________________________________________________________________ This is an highly integrated Mount and FanDuct for the upcoming Phaetus TaiChi Hotend (2 in 1 out). It should be compatible with typical Creality Hotend/X-gantrys as well as with my own Tool Change System. First and foremost I have to warn you, this is still work in progress (WIP) and I currently don't have an Phaetus TaiChi Hotend to test and use it myself. I designed it as good as I could without having one, using their officially uploaded .STEP files of the TaiChi hotend! @Phaetus if you read this - you know... you could provide me with an TaiChi if you want... ;D The FanDuct outputs/nozzles are offset and not centered on purpose, so they will cover a bigger area and also aims to create sort of an vortex and also turbulent flow which is more effective for cooling than laminar flow. Install tutorial: ------------------- - I don't plan to invest the time and effort for an step by step tutorial. - Use at your own risk. As I said untested and WIP! - Use common sense! - Print without support. - Insert the brass threaded inserts as straight as possible into the holes with your soldering iron. - Sand/file things smooth that everything fits nicely but don't sand too much! You want it to slide smooth into each other without much effort, but you don't want anything to be able to wiggle! - Fully assemble the TaiChi with heater and thermistor cartridge before mounting the Mount/FanDuct! - The TaiChi/its Heaterblock must be oriented so that the heater cartridge faces back! - Slide the Mount/FanDuct on the TaiChi and screw the TaiChi on your X-gantry! - Attach the bowden tube after that. - Attach the fans to the fan mounts and attach these to the main part after that. - It features both mounts for BL-Touch and the dc42 IR-Sensor because it is easier for me to maintain the Design that way. Use your ABL sensor and ignore the other or if you don't use an ABL sensor ignore both mounts. - I want to warn about the fact that I don't use the BL-Touch, so I did not test the height. Please be extra careful. -The dc42 IR sensor needs to be mounted with an bit of creativity because of its shape and annoying soldering joints. - As I don't have an TaiChi both mounting heights for the ABLs could be wrong, I will change it if you leave feedback. - Check if you you have to relocate the X-axis, Y-axis and Z-axis sensors before your first homing!! - You will need to redo your PID tuning! - Really. Please. Use common sense and stop if things don't make work out. It is not tested yet! - Please don't ask me how to get the 2 in 1 out and retraction settings running, I simply don't know yet. Probably change values for the Prusa MMU in the PrusaSlicer. As I have read on Reddit these settings must be super dialed in to work reliable for material switching! Bill of materials and required tools: ----------------------------------------------- - Use the default Creality X gantry OR - Alternatively: My Tool Change System for OpenBuilds gantry with its required parts, the actually mountig piece (ToolConnector) is included there: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5273592 - 8 to 14x Ruthex M3 brass threaded inserts or similar (holes are sized for Ruthex ones!). The exact amount is depending on your the ABL sensor, and other mounting choices. The 40mm heatsink fan as example theoretically only needs 2 brass thread inserts to be mounted firmly. - 2x 30mm M3 if you use the standard Creality X-gantry - 2x 35 to 40mm M3 Screws if you use my Tool Change System - 4x 25mm M3 Screws for the 4020 fans - 2x 5mm to 10mm M3 Screws for the fan mounts - 2x or 4x 10mm or 20mm M3 screws for the heatsink fan dependent on what fan you use. - 2x 4020 fans, I recommend ones with high RPM - 2x 5mm M3 screws if you use the BLTouch - Obviously the upcoming Phaetus TaiCh - I don't have one yet myself... - soldering iron PLEASE be careful as it is not tested yet. If you already have an Phaetus TaiChi, please give detailed feedback! Update Changelogs ----------- Beta 20 - changed so that the fan mount can be mounted on the main part with two screws to prohibit chance of it rattling loose Beta 18 - changed screw holes for the fan mounts to accepting longer screws Beta 17 - changed mounting so that the spacers are not needed anymore and instead the mount pushes directly (with imprint) on the TaiChi - removed the post in the heatsink duct as it was not necessary anymore Beta 14 - small issue resolved Beta 13 - improved hole diameters for the brass threaded inserts Beta11 - changed angle of flow to the nozzle to hopefully hit it perfectly now - weight reductions (~2g) - easier printing Beta08 - Improved the heatsink fanduct a lot - changed the angle of flow to the nozzle - removed the need for the front spacers for ease of installation, while hopingly still keeping everything tight and stiff Beta02 - initial release
