Topic: E3d V6 question

New guy here to 3D printing. I have a Davinci 1.0A. Got from the get go the DimensionBX resetter... work like a champ. Tried to print with PLA ( using Simplify3D) and it work 1 time out of 3... getting the clicking sound most of the time... really frusteating... So after a six pack of cold one reading the interweb, I ordered a E3d V6 from MatterHackers. Just got the thing today... Look like I also got a "Clean tip Nozzle and heater block combo pack" no idea where is this coming from ( maybe hitting the buy it now button after the sixth cold adult beverage has something to do with it wink ) my question is, what is the best mounting solution I should print to mount that thing? so many variant design out there got me confused... let me know what you'd do... Thx in advance...

Re: E3d V6 question

First off, although neither one is technically posted in the wrong place as this is both a mod and it involves the davinci, I think it would be beneficial to everyone if you limit your topic to one posting. This keeps things less confusing and most of the members here check all the sections anyway.

Read through this topic as it seems to be relevant to what you're trying to do. http://www.soliforum.com/topic/7614/e3d-on-da-vinci/

Also be sure you're getting authentic E3D parts. Filastruder is by far the best deal around especially for authentic parts, and you can get a 5% discount by entering "reprap" at checkout.

Re: E3d V6 question

this is also a good tutorial on how to add the e3d.

This is the way I did it and I'm happy with it.

Re: E3d V6 question

MatterHackers is authentic too, they just cost more than Filastruder.

Filastruder - the robust, inexpensive filament extruder
E3Dv6 All Metal Hotend - the premier 3D printing hotend
