I wanted to swap out the original hotend that was installed on my Vyper for an E3D V6 Volcano full metal hotend. there are mounts for the original V6, but not one for a V6 volcano.
This is a 2 part design, one left and one right piece. you will need 2 M3 heat inserts for the horizontal clamping threads, one for the left and the other for the right. Additionally 4M3 hex bolts, 2 to connect the two halfs together around the hotend, then another 2 M3 bolts to secure the assembely to the strain guage
The design of the original hotend made things challenging but Ive come up with a solution to the problem and have had this deisgn along with a full replacement for the X axis that mounts to the rail working on my machine for many months now.
My whole printhead design allows for hot swap of hotends with the frame allowing a magnetic system to detatch the whole printhead to make changing out hotends a job that can be done in a minute max.
The whole design allows me to swap whole hotends with different nozzles, sizes and materials without having to do nozzle changes and sppeding up the process of convering the printer for different types of printing.
This is the first part of the whle deisng im releasing for others to try out and once im happy with the whole design I will release the whole package, im not far off now.
