Cobra Go Hotend Mount & Part cooling with stock ABL
Description
I really liked how Maker Hangtight " https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3179892 " designed this hotend & duct and wanted it for my 3D printer the Anycubic Kobra Go. I believe I've printed and tried almost every custom hotend & duct for the Kobra Go I could find out there and was never very impressed. Don't get me wrong, there are some really good ones out there but nothing like this for the Kobra Go that I could find. So I decided to butcher this with TinkerCAD to fit. I removed a lot to keep the auto levelling sensor in the factory spot, totally redesigned the mount and had to cut the duct tip a bit to fit around the sensor. I'm not the best with TinkerCAD so its a bit chunky. After many hours of cutting, adding and measuring I finally had it on and working. I'm so extremely happy with the outcome that I had to share. I quickly printed these parts as drafts so they look a bit rough in the pictures but by the time you read this I will have printed high quality good looking ones. I was worried using PLA for testing but have had no issues with heat sag or melting after testing 4 prints so far. That 5015 blower fan is working great. This as helped heaps with my prints. I just used some small screws I had laying around to put it all together but the maker has added some very nice slots and holes for proper bolts (I didn't have those). You do have to adjust the auto levelling sensor very low to install the main unit but you can just raise the sensor back into place after its all screwed on. For wiring in the 5015 blower I just de-soldered the old small blower and soldered the factory wires to the new blower making sure to note what wire was on the left and right to keep the blower blowing in the right direction. (make sure you test the blower after soldering to make sure its blowing properly) I used a wide cup full of water to show me where the ducts were blowing to get the height just right for the best cooling right below the tip. If you need any info for printing or on the unit please look at the original page as he has put a lot of work into having a great product and lots of information on it. Also they have the file for the adapter for a 20mm thick main fan if you want. I haven't tried it but I'm sure it will still fit and work as intended. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3179892 If you see a problem that could hinder others please let me know and I'll do my best to fix it.
