This model is a remix of the awesome Mini-After-Sherpa. It is designed to mount the μSherpa onto the Flsun QQ-S Pro, along with a Revo V6, a 3007 axial cooler fan, two 3010 blowers, and an ebb42. It uses the μSherpa attached directly to the effector plate for a lower center of gravity. You'll lose a little bit of build height but it's more stable.
The first revision of this model connected really smoothly with the effector. I'm not sure if I used a different model in subsequent revisions, or if it was just my switch to ASA, but they haven't fit quite as neatly into the effector. I've done some nudging of edges to try and improve things and I'm reprinting now so we'll see if it helps….
Print in ASA—preferably sherbet colored if at all possible.
There are 6 files to print:
- The main body
- The key that locks the v6 into the body
- 4 riser standoffs for the ebb42
Everything assembles pretty smoothly in the following order:
- Install the 4 heatserts into the body part. They're drawn for M3 4mm heatserts.
- Use a light file, screwdriver, whatever to make sure the areas where the body joins the effector are smooth (shouldn't need to remove material from the print just make sure it's clean).
- Install 3007 fan into front of body. Make sure airflow is blowing in toward v6 heatsink. You may need to cut the fan body slightly to release wires if they exit on the side—the blower fans will fit tightly against the axial fan.
- Place v6 in body, rotating to make sure the open slot around the bottom of the v6 is rotated toward the rear of the body.
- Place key into body, firmly sandwiching v6. The key should align with the profile of the body/make sure it's not upside down.
- Drill/cut effector plate according to cut.pdf file (make sure you set your printer to print it at 100%).
- Insert body into effector, being sure to NOT press from the fan ducts. They're flimsy without the blowers installed. You can kind of use your thumbs while holding the effector with your other fingers, or turn the whole assembly upside down and use the dull side of a large screwdriver against the bottom of the v6 to firmly insert.
- Place M3 screws through assembled μSherpa and through effector/body assembly. Use hex nuts to secure. I like to use a couple of tiny washers on the Sherpa side of the screw especially if it's 3d printed. Use screw that don't have extra length.
- Ensuring the extruder screws aren't too long, align blowers with ducts and slide into place one at a time. It's tight but satisfying.
- Loosely, attach standoff risers to ebb42 with short nuts and screws.
- Attach ebb/standoff assembly to body/effector assembly using M3 screws. Align ebb and gently tighten.
- Cable as necessary. The heat core wires will need some delicate manhandling. I prefer to order Revo V6 in parts (filasturder is awesome). I get the v6 heatsink, the heat core LDO edition which already has the right ends for the ebb so I don't have to cut and crimp (the thermistor wire insulation is pretty delicate and difficult to hand crimp on the E3d edition), and then I don't have to pay for another 0.4 low flow nozzle I'll never use. No zip through holes but the standoffs work pretty well as attachment points.
That's basically it, except you'll need some way to probe with it. Use a tap-xxx or something like this. I had to incorporate the riser standoffs to get the ebb a little further away from the heat block. Depending on how you plug everything in to it, you may loose a little bit of build volume at the 90º tower (y+), especially if you're using the Dupont connectors. Test carefully!
