Final Assembly
Final Assembly:
- Use button heads for everything if possible to save weight
- **note the heater cartridge location
- heater cartridge should be towards the back
- ADXL can be mounted on the left side of the carriage or using one of the 3010 mount holes.
- Duct_Brace_v1.0.stl can be used to brace the upper duct arms.
- The x-axis Resonance grace sometimes has a second resonance at ~110hz. This brace can help mitigate that. Prior to the duct brace, I used the MZV recommendation and didn't really have issues with ringing. The duct brace improves the resonance graph, but I'm not sure if it makes a real world difference in print quality.
- Put the duct brace between the two upper duct arm/5015 mount holes and mount the fan to the duct arm and the duct brace with a m3x25.
![]() The heater is always oriented towards the back with Mantis |
![]() Note you can also use heatsets in the 5015 mount arms |
![]() Crazy Volcano. Heater also goes towards back. |
![]() Crazy Volcano's narrow heat block allows nice angles of attack for part cooling to the nozzle and better part cooling airflow than with dragon, mosquito, or rapido. |
