I like the looks of the Apogee toolhead but noticed there was not a variation that was made for the Triangle Labs CHC PRO hotend ($29 Aliexpress / Amazon) so I jumped into F360 and started designing.   This is beta, but I am putting it together myself and it is working well so far.   

You will need an assortment of M3 screws, thin M3 square nuts, and a few M3x4 heatset inserts.   Plus a 3010 hotend fan, and two 4010 blower fans for part cooling.   Take a look at the original Apogee project for specifics as most of it will be the same for this remix.   

  • I used heatset inserts in the top of the fan shroud to securely attach the hotend base.  
  • This remix fits both the “mirrored” and the standard version of the Orbiter 2.0 extruder 
  • I included an EBB36 mounting file that fits the “mirrored” Orbiter 2.0 as I could not find one anywhere else.   By the way, CANBUS is awesome!   
  • I personally use an M8 inductive probe, and have included a model for that as well, although the original Apogee probe mount will also fit just fine.
  • I designed a custom MGN9 mount to fit my own setup, so you'll need to do the same to adapt it to your printer.   The mounting holes on this design are different than the original Apogee.  But with modest Fusion skills this should be a piece of cake.

Note:  I only included STEP files as most modern slicers can use these with no issues.  STEP's are also easier to modify to suit your own needs, and they tend to be just better in every way compared to STL's.   

Post a question or comment - I love engaging with folks using my designs!

Enjoy!
