This toolhead is for the Goliath hotend. if uses:
- Hextrudort or LGX lite extruder or any other extruder with matching screw holes
- CPAP only, no fan mod
- either Beacon 3D or Klicky / Unklicky / other klicky like probes
- MGN12 rail only
- “simple” umbilical cord
The toolhead need to be printed “up-side-down”, which minimises the supports needed and supports are inlcuded in the part, so no slicer support required. Other settings at your discretion, but I like to play it save, so better more perimeters, more infill etc.
v1.9.1
- toolhead mostly unchanged, more heat inserts
- the "cage" plate and umbilcal have been simplified and separated, which now makes it possible to exchange the extruder without the need to fully disassemble the cage and the umbilical. Previously, if I wanted to change the extruder, all the umbilical zip ties had to come off.
v1.9
- a stronger top cage was added to decrease vibration by securing cables and tube with zip-ties
- 1-strut-version of toolhead was omitted vor the same reason.
- the strong / stiff top cage currently only works with Hextrudort! One can still use version 1.8 with the lighter top and umbilical cord mount with other extruders. v1.9 toolhead does not work with earlier versions of umbilical or hextrudort adapter! one needs to print Hex_adapter_w_cage, which is now one part.
v1.8.2 > 1 strut version v1.8.1 > 2 strut version
v1.8.x
- moved the goliath and extruder up 2mm and used 1mm of that increased space to thicken the complete back plate of the toolhead
- improved stability and air flow with better design of the corncer section
- improved air flow with a bit wider cut out for the 3010 fan
- slighty more stabalised air flow fin, which now also has a small hole in it, to better reach on of the mount screws
- klicky mount is now a selectable add-on
- improved adapter plate design for easier printing
v1.7.3
- slight corrections
- added print-support structures, so toolhead can now be printed without any supports
v1.7.2
- optimised duct so it would print dual-wall with a 0.6 nozzle
- slightly optimised heat insert cut-out
v1.7.1 improvment
- added small air guiding restirctions to better cool the hotend
v1.7 improvments
- the goliath and extruder a pulled in 3mm, thereby pulling in the center of gravity
- redesigned stabiliser struts, so no supports are required for printing then
- those changes in turn required a redesign of the fan duct, which now also contains holes for heat inserts to secure it to the toolhead
- a clamp for the CPAP tube, which also contains the ADXL mount
- made some room on the back side of the toolhead and extruder adapter, to possibly and permanently mount an ADXL
I am keeping v1.6 as an older version, as the clearance on that is a bit more. Just in case / as per personal taste.
