So I am fitting an E3Dv6.......

I have been thinking about adding a E3D to mine as well. keep me updated.

I have one in mine.

other then the changes you made to fit it in you may need to adjust  the home position depending on what carriage mod you chose.

I used the  thermistor 5 table and that works well. 

Assuming you are still using the same extruder you shouldn't have to change the calibration for the extruder steps per mm

If you changed the extruder you will need to calibrate the extruder steps per mm.

I assume you have to reflash with the right settings? I am going to retask the stock cooling fan as a filament cooling fan so I have to reflash anyways (I think)

Ok. I will just retask the stock cooling fan and then try it out.

I am going to try the modded normal carriage first myself.  I may go to another carriage but probably not a Bowden set-up.  I recall reading (perhaps on these forums) of some folks who had been using a different carriage that the one listed above.  I don't have time to look atm but will try later if you are interested.

OK it is done (ish) all working..but... how do I re-flash the firmware with the new settings i.e retasking the cooling fan.

Thinking about doing this tomorrow or Sunday myself.  Assuming you are doing the mod of the current part per the videos, what is your z-offset?   I thought the nozzle location is fairly close to where the stock one is.  How does the thermistor plug fit the PCB board.  Some have commented that it is a lose fit.

Also did you use bullet/butt connectors for the hot end?

Thanks.  I believe I recall you moved to a different carriage in a Bowden set-up, correct?

How was the mod working for you with the original modded carriage?  Looking to stay in a direct drive set-up for now.

Also curious to know if others are printing using different nozzle sizes with this set-up?  I bought a few other ones other that the .4 to try but had not read anyone messing around with them.

Also any recommended gauge of wire for the 12V for the fan?  Is the stock E3D fan wiring long enough?  Instead of soldering I was going to crimp on as new connector for the 12 v and neutral on their respective "pins" in the plug.  Any issues with this?

Thanks.  You will have to share when you get if to your liking. 

Also any thoughts on this? (I edited my post while you where replying)    :

I did plan on that and did order a few extra parts, so I should be set (already have E3D V6 plus extra parts).  I have been looking for a 4 pin extender cable locally but cannot find one so I ordered one.  I may be able to make something with the parts I have around.  Then I can splice into the extension and not monkey with the original power cable or socket.  If I can put something together I will do it tomorrow otherwise it will need to wait until I get my extender.

Hey guys,

I've recently bought and installed an e3dv6 bowden hotend but think, i might have a problem.

When extruder starts heating to load filament smokes started to come from the extruder. I've checked if the hot end is touching any plastic parts, but it wasn't. I was afraid to burn it so I turned the printer off. Do you have any idea what might be wrong? Or is it normal since its the first time the extruder heating?

My printer is 1.0A with repetier .92
