Topic: E3d V6 Installation on SD3 with Sanguinololu motherboard help

My e3d v6 just came in today and i have it all assembled and ready to go except for the fact that i have no idea how to wire it. Im not the best with wiring and couldn't find any guides on how to wire it or how to crimp it to the AWG connectors that already come on the stock hot end. does anyone have or know of a guide to wire everything including the 12v fan?

You can splice into the lines for your existing extruder motor fan.
As for the E3D wires, cut the old wires (red/blue/white) out of the picture. The E3D v6 ships with everything you need aside from one 2 pin connector which connects to the board. So take that plug and cut it 6-10 inches from the plug then slip some heatshrink. A western union knot and solder will give a great bond for your news heater wires. Conceal the splice with said heatshrink, then plug it into the correct terminal.

There is no polarity for the heat/thermistor.

What he said. The E3D wires are better than the Solidoodle wires.

Glad it's working for you!
Don't forget you will more than likely have to adjust the E VREF. If you haven't already, spend the $6 for a DRV8825 stepper driver as it is a great addition, E3D or not smile
