E3D V6 Fan and Part Cooler

I upgraded my CR-10v3 to an all metal volcano hotend (E3D V6 and Titan extruder). I had a problem finding a cooling fan/part blower that would fit. I designed one using the Joshuarowley42's base (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:340312). This is a work in progress but I'm currently using the original model with very few issues*.

• One issue I do have is the part cooler portion catching on the glass bed clip. I have tried to correct that in this version, but I have not tested it.

Parts Needed

1 - 30mmx10mm axial fan (stock E3D V6 cooling fan)

1 - 5015 blower fan

2 - M2x4mm threaded brass inserts (can support up to 4, but why?)

2 - M2x16mm screws (can support up to 4)

2 - M3x4mm threaded brass inserts

2 - M3x18mm screws

Print Settings

Printer:

Mars 3

Rafts:

No

Supports:

Yes

Resolution:

.05

Infill:

100

Filament:

Siraya Tech/3DMaterials resin

Notes:

I used my SLA printer to create this, and a mix of 75%/25% Siraya Tech Sculpt (high heat tolerance) and 3DMaterials SuperPP (ABS-like resin). I also added some resin dye to change the color.

Post-Printing =============

After printing, washing, and removing supports, you have to carefully drill out the screw holes to accommodate the brass threaded inserts. The 30mm heatsink fan uses M2x4mm, and the 5015 part cooler uses M3x4mm.

I think, and this is my preference, it is easier to use a hand drill before curing the model. One I have the inserts in place, I apply a small amount of resin to the edge of the insert and cure. I usually leave screws in the inserts for this part (to keep out the resin).
