Creality CR-10 Smart Spider Hot-End Mount

Creality CR-10 Smart Spider Hot-End Mount

Description

Wanted to print faster/hotter, saw a good deal on a Creality Spider hot-end, and made a mount so I could use it on my CR-10 Smart. PRIOR WARNING BEFORE WE GO ON: This was my first attempt at designing anything on any form of CAD software. I'm not responsible for anything that happens to you or your printer. It's also a work-in-progress. Maybe. By all means improve on it! Printed at 205C in standard black PLA with the bed at 60C, with Klipper on the Sonic Pad. Print it with the two back hot-end mounting holes face down. Add supports (only touching build plate) for the hump at the top. The big holes are designed for heat-set inserts, sized M3, 5mm wide and 4mm long. The small holes are designed to just screw into, also M3. Once you've disconnected your outgoing hot-end from everything, the following things need to be done (WARNING, not a lot of detail here but I wanted to get something down quick for now) * The black bracket on top of the strain sensor (the thing with glue on it at the top) with the Bowden guide built in should be set aside for if you ever want to switch back to stock. * The fan spacer between the fan and the heatsink should also be set aside. * Replace the Bowden connector on the Spider with a smaller pneumatic one (like the ones you get with Capricorn tubing) * Unscrew strain sensor bracket and add 6mm spacers behind, and screw back in so the strain sensor now sticks out by 6mm. * Get new hot end and seat it inside the mount so the two holes in the heat sink line up with the two holes at the back of the mount. Screw in with some M3 sized bolts/screws. * Offer up mount/hotend to the strain sensor bracket holes and screw into the humped part of the mount * Reconnect heater cartridge and thermistor and screw in. * Add 3mm spacers between the mount and the fan and screw in. REVISIONS: v1.0 - Initial bracket, working, shroud/cover doesn't fit, part fan is too high (but still seems to give some airflow)
