also since the post is so old does anybody have pics of the mods the OP originally did?
Okay. I am a done getting messages from folks who are not reading this thread.
So for the lazy.
"I got the E3D v6 and I plan on doing the Bowden Mod. Do I really need to update the firmware?"
Yes. You do."I want to do the firmware upgrade but I don't see any link to where it is or how to even do it, How are you expecting people to do this mod?"

2) http://www.soliforum.com/post/86023/#p86023"I've never used the Arduino IDE or worked with a Arduino can you give me step-by-step instructions?"
Don't do the update."I printed your parts and nothing fits."

2) http://reprap.org/wiki/Calibration"Github? I don't know how to use that. Why don't you use a normal place to post the parts?"

"Why did you use the E3D v6 instead <insert inferior hotend>?"
E3D > Everything.
"Why bowden? Direct would have been easier..."
Then design one. That fits in the same space without cutting in Z-"You said you got Cyclops working with the press? Where are the mounts?"
Yea Sorry. I had a couple life events happen. I am back on the horse now. After I am done doing my gantry mod, I'll do a big push to github
"Can I mail you my press and you do the mod for me?"
No.
"Do you have any more info on the swanky Z-mod you did?"

Sorry for the snotty answers but 100% of the most common questions I get asked are in this thread. Please read it. Or use the search box.

it absolutely does. I'm using it and G29 is part of my gcode in cura for all prints.
I've printed about a dozen items since building this upgrade using this firmware
The reason why it may not work is because your settings are gone and need to reset your settings to default. There's a gcode to do this.
This happened to me the first time I updated my fw through the HID bootloader
Ah, gotcha. Resetting the firmware defaults (M502) worked

I changed it for a 24v fan and so far so good hereYour E3Dv6 kit came with 2 fans??
strange. Also, the 24v fan makes no sense really because you can't get more than 12volts out of the stock motherboard from the fan mounts.
Yeah they claimed to send me the wrong voltage fan, so they send me a 24v later.
Who knows what happened? maybe they sent me the right fan first, and the wrong one afterrwards? dunno
Where'd you buy it from?

The kit you get for the E3DV6 is 24volts including the fan (24v as well).
what did you do? the output is 12volts for the fan. Is there a work around for this? or do you have to solder the fan on to the board 24v input like someone else did on this thread?
Sorry I should have been more clear. We are using the Factory fan with this mount seen below.
Cool mod, how do you avoid the fan hitting the front part of the printer when g29 it's active?
I run the printer with Matter Control. It only probes in the middle of the bed.

from reading this thread it seems the fan output is 12v on the motherboard.
The factory fan on the press is 12V.
