One Piece HotEnd-3Vents now working.
April 25, 2014 11:37AM
For some time I have been modifying iamburny one piece hot end. I have incorporated a number of features.
1. 3 vents to distribute the air flow across the width of the head, cooling the filament quicker as an aid to bridging -- tests ongoing.
2. Slots for the heater cables and the sensor wires.
3 Protection of the wires from the aluminium block.
4 Extended and strengthened post to keep the cables high and out of the way

Photos and stl attached if anybody would like to use it.

That looks nice! But doesn't the tab to the right of the rightmost vent block the light from the LEDs at the bottom of the sensor board? Or perhaps you are using alternative lighting?

Yes it does block some of the light but enough shines through, I think I will make that part thinner in future but it does help keep the airflow pointed at the printed part. Also I had thought of printing it in clear pla.
