Creality CR-200B head upgrade to (almost) Pro
Description
Designed to adapt Creality Spider hotend with improved cooling, 4020 ball bearing blower fan and BMG direct extruder into standard CR-200B printhead. Installation does not require drilling or any other printer alteration and is fully reversible. Required materials: 1) Creality Spider hotend, aluminum heatsink option (not for high flow) Since the original hotend is 12mm wide and Spider is 16mm, 2mm are to be cut from one side to ensure concentricity with CR200B feeding hole. Please refer to the attched photos. 2) 4020 24V blower fan for improved cooling performance 3) BMG geared extruder. I had mine upgraded with full metal BMG before, now it will go onto the head. 4) NEMA17 23mm stepper, or a slimmer/lighter one compatible with BMG mounting holes. 5) 2x M3x20 screws 6) Soldering tools and skills to connect the new fan instead of the old sqeaky 4010 cr200b-duct part is provided for backward compatibility should you wish to return your printer to its original state while keeping the 4020 blower. It can be mounted instead of 4010, but requires this duct to steer the airflow. cr200b-head is an integral part accomodating the original 4010 axial hotend cooler and new 4020 blower. It also focuses the airflow for better hotend cooling, which was not addressed in the original CR-200B head design. cr200b-clamp is for fixing the wires from the left of the printhead. cr200b-pin is for fixing the cr200b-bmg-direct part on top of the printhead using two 6mm holes on its back. Print two pins and use them as drywall inserts with M3x20 screws, locking the extruder holder in its position. Without pins, there is not enough stiffness in the holder and it has to be screwed from top of the printhead, which requires it to be drilled and tapped. There is no change in printer working area with 23mm stepper. Thinner steppers may provide additional margin on X-axis.
