Description

<H2><B>Bracket For Attaching An E3D Titan Aero Extruder To The Cr-10</B></H2> This Bracket Attaches An E3D Titan Aero Extruder To The X-Carriage Of The Creality Cr-10 3D Printer. For Those Who Want The Ultimate Situation Independent Auto-Leveling Aero Titan Head Please Check Out My Piezo Version Of This Head: Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:3513567 If You Simply Want To Convert The Cr-10 To A Non-Bowden Printer, With Auto Bed Leveling Using An Inductive Sensor And With All The Perks That The E3D Ecosystem Has To Offer (Eg. A Volcano Hot-End And Many Nozzle Types And Sizes), This Might Be Worth The While! I Have Made Many Changes To My Cr-10, And Installing The Titan Aero Extruder Certainly Has Been One Of The More Significant Ones. This Bracket Does 3 Things: 1. It Fixes The E3D Titan Aero Extruder To The X- Carriage Of The Cr-10 2. It Holds A 12 Mm 12 V Inductive Sensor (Sensing Distance 4Mm - 1.6 Mm With Aluminium) 3. It Holds A Part Cooling Fan. Type 50X15 Mm 12V Radial Fan. </Br> Note: The Fan-Duct Is Optional And Can Simply Be Stuck(Or Glued) Into The Radial Fan Outlet.</Br> Note: The Extension Right Above The Hole Where The Sensor Is To Be Inserted, Is A Bumper, That Prevents The Sensor From Crashing Into The Z-Train At The End Of The X-Axes Of The Cr-10. </Br> Note: The Offset For The Sensor In Respect To The Nozzle Is 25 Mm In The X Direction And -25 Mm In The Y Direction. <H2><B>Updates:</H2></B> </Br>(23-1-2018): I Have Now Also Included A Version For The 18 Mm Sensor That Timothy Hoogland Uses For His Ebl Upgrade Of The Cr-10 </Br></Br> <Br> <Br> (20-2-2018): A New Version Is Available Now For The Slimline Steppermotor With More Space For The Motor Wires. It Is Called <B>Titan Aero Brace For Cr-10 For Any Motor + 12Mm Sensor.Stl</B> <Br> <Br> (21-2-2018): Two Other Versions Of The Bracket That Were Especially Designed For The E3D "Slimline" Steppermotor Have Been Uploaded. They Are Called: Titan Aero Bracket For Cr-10 (Slimline) + Xxx" Where Xxx Stands For The Sensor Specs. These Brackets Have Two 50 Mm Radial Fans (!!) But In Order To Not Lose Any Y Range, You Will Have To Move The Entire Gantry (The U Shaped Aluminium Profiles That Stand Upright On The Base Y Frame And That House The X And Z Axes) Approx. 30 Mm Towards The Back Of The Machine (Where The Y Stepper Motor Is). <Br> <Br> (7-8-2018): An Additional Omnidirectional Fanduct For This Bracket Has Been Designed And Uploaded: <Br> Link To This Omnidirectional Fanduct: Https://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:3039076 <Br> <H2><B>Instructions:</B></H2> <Ul> <Li> Print The Bracket / Brace, Preferably Using Polycarbonate. </Li> <Li>Remove The Cr-10'S Hot-End And Fan Casing From The X-Carriage </Li> <Li> Remove All 3 Wheels From The X-Carriage</Li> <Li>Insert 3 M5 Nuts Into The 3 Hexagonal Holes Of The Bracket</Li> <Li>Now Assemble The Bracket Together With The Titan Extruder.
