Interesting, seemed like you'd lose some vertical height with this. Going to try and adapt this to a Duo.

One other question: in the picture on thingiverse (http://bit.ly/1zlocv5) there appears to be an upper filament guide that doesn't seem to appear in either of the build docs you referenced. Is that a separate piece? As I'm primarily interested in printing flexible filaments, I'd like to grab and print this as well.

I tried to tell the designer this on thingiverse, but that uper filament guide has 0 impact on printing flexible filaments... The crucial area is after the filament LEAVES the extruder gear because the axial load on the filament at that point will induce bucking. To correct for this you will have to bring your PTFE tube right up next to the extruder gear and cut it in a v shape. This will help to constrain the filament as it enters the hot end and allow you to print faster.

That's exactly what I did as well.

Are you using Khing's setup from thingiverse?

I used this one http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:707530 but I am having issues, the PFTE tube after awhile bent making it a complete pain to load filament. I am now looking for other options.

That is my main hold up on upgrading... Just not sure which setup to use!

Re: An other design E3D V6 for da vinci

I went with this one ..... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:608560
But I didn't bother removing the carriage. Instead I just drilled the holes and cut the space for the stepper with carriage in place by going in with a drill and dremel from the front door.
It was a little tight on room to manoeuvre but saved a fair bit of time.
I also got rid of the small extruder pcb while I was at it.
This one looks even more straight forward although it's for the Pro so not sure if it'll fit ..... http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1328848

Re: An other design E3D V6 for da vinci

Agreed, a drop in that fits the existing clip would be ideal.  Maybe it's time to get to modeling...

Re: An other design E3D V6 for da vinci

I would think with a drop in you will have issues printing with flexible filament.
