E3D Titan extruder (Page 2 of 16)

Excellent, thanks again.
Sounds like a pretty easy mod in that case.

I already have an E3D V6 Lite installed with 12v fan so not a problem.
I for one would certainly appreciate you uploading your documentation here. I'm on the verge of ordering a Titan myself.

Thanks for the information.  So it looks like a fairly "easy plug an play" for the Davinci printers that already have an E3D v6.

evanalmighty, can you clarify this statement?

"You'll lose some Z height so just add an extension to the Z end stop trigger arm and call it a day."

So an extension can compensate for the height lost?  I am good at following directions on things like this but if you can give me a more visual description of how that would work I would appreciate it.

I will probably be ordering this soon.

Also what would be the proper settings that I would need to change in the slicer?  I use Simplify 3D myself.

Thanks

Mark

If I understand correctly, you won't need to remove the carriage as there's no cutting/drilling involved. I didn't bother removing mine anyway, just made the cuts by going in from the from the front door with a dremel.
Regarding the z end stop, I think it's just a case of adding something to the trigger to reduce the bed height?
Something like this .... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:621440

I'm doing this slightly differently. I plan on installing the Titan so that the nozzle sits in the same place as the original. Also in a similar place to the E3D v6 Da Vinci Mod. I have received mine this morning and will shortly be starting the measuring etc.... If you have already installed a V6, I don't imagine it will be too much more work. I know this is not what some would do. But I personally feel, to have the nozzle in a similar height to the original will mean less mods and adaptations.

You all will have your own opinion.....

Here is the good news.

If you have already modified your Da Vinci printer too accomandate an e3D v6, you will only need to print the 2mm Spacer
which Joshua @ E3D as already produced on Thingyverse.

once installed it looks as though with the above modification done, you will have too lower the heated bed by around 1mm. I have looked at mine and this will be accomandated very easily. I will now proceed to install the Titan and report back

if you havent seen the E3D v6 modification. here is the link to the youtube series 1 - 7

You all tempted me too much.  10% off with Kickstarter code at Filastruder brought it down to $63 shipped.

Still won't get it until my birthday in May, though.

I may not appreciate the difference that the Titan makes as I will be upgrading both the hotend and extruder at the same time.  But I will trust you all when you say it will be worth it...  I have reached the limit of what the stock head can do, I believe.

Yeah, the E3D blows even a well modded stock hotend out the water !
I reckon the Titan should take the Davinci up to the premier league.

Ok, I use the original Daughter board for a layer fan, and the 12v is for the E3d fan. I have mine flashed with Repetier 0.92 firmware ( https://github.com/luc-github/Repetier-Firmware-0.92 )and have dedicated the fan on the daughter board for use.

Taking the carriage out only takes 5 minutes Max. I have done it a few times and can now do it with my eyes closed.

As for the thermistor this is already set in the firmware. LUC did most of the setup

I hope to have it up and running tomorrow, ready for a test print

The V6 fan is on full power as designed by E3d to keep the filament tract cool, the other fan for the layers is controlled by software ie. Repetier host, Simplify3d
You can have then controller as and when needed. The software decides depending on layer time etc.

Thank you have amended.

How do you get the gear off of the stepper motor?  Heat it up and then pry?  Pinion puller?
