Bộ gá Mini Satsana E3D V6 cho Ender 3 V2

I created this mount while converting my modified Ender 3 V2 to use an E3D V6-style hotend with a compact Mini Satsana-based cooling setup.

The available Mini Satsana duct and V6 holder were suitable for the hotend, but they could not mount directly to my original Ender 3 v2 carriage in the arrangement I needed. I therefore combined the duct and hotend-holder geometry from the Printables design, created by @Qris you can check it out with this link, with the Ender 3 V2 carriage-adapter concept demonstrated in Victor Bared’s E3D V6 installation video. The original Printables model is described as a simple E3D V6 mounting and cooling solution for the Ender 3 V2, while the video demonstrates a compact adapter for installing an E3D V6 on the Ender 3 V2 carriage. (YouTube)

The resulting part provides:

• Direct mounting to the original Ender 3/Ender 3 V2 X-carriage

• Support for an E3D V6 or dimensionally compatible V6 clone

• Mounting points for the Mini Satsana-based fan duct

• M3 heat-set insert holes for repeatedly removing and reinstalling the duct

• A compact, lightweight arrangement

• Better serviceability than using screws directly in printed plastic

The lower mounting section was repositioned beneath the main hotend-holder body so that it interfaces correctly with the original carriage. The first prototype had this section on the wrong side. After reversing its position and test-printing the updated version, the carriage-hole alignment and physical fit were confirmed.

Design changes

The main changes made to the source components were:

1. Combined the Mini Satsana-compatible E3D V6 holder with an Ender 3 V2 carriage adapter.

2. Repositioned the carriage-mounting section underneath the hotend holder.

3. Preserved the original lower carriage-hole locations and diameters.

4. Added or modified the upper mounting holes for M3 heat-set inserts.

5. Adjusted the geometry so the cooling duct can be attached and removed without damaging the printed threads.

6. Kept the assembly compact to reduce unnecessary toolhead weight.

This is not merely the original mount with additional holes. The carriage interface and mounting orientation were modified to make the two designs work as one assembly.

Compatibility

Designed and physically tested around:

• Creality Ender 3 V2 carriage

• Standard Ender 3-style X-carriage mounting pattern

• E3D V6-style hotend

• Compatible E3D V6 clone hotends

• Mini Satsana-based cooling duct

• M3 heat-set inserts

• Bowden extrusion configuration

It may also work with:

• Ender 3

• Ender 3 Pro

• Other Creality machines using the same X-carriage mounting pattern

Compatibility with those additional machines has not yet been physically verified.

Before installation, confirm that your V6 clone follows standard E3D V6 dimensions. Clone heatsinks and grooves can vary slightly.

Required hardware

The exact screw lengths can vary depending on the duct, fan thickness and the type of heat-set inserts used.

Recommended hardware:

• 2 × original carriage-mounting screws

• 2 × M3 heat-set inserts for the upper duct mounting points

• 2 × M3 screws for attaching the Mini Satsana duct

• E3D V6 groove-mount hotend

• 4010 hotend cooling fan

• 4010 x2 part-cooling blower and screws

Measure the required M3 screw length after installing the inserts. The screws should fully engage the inserts without reaching the bottom of the holes or contacting the hotend.

Heat-set insert information

The upper holes are intended for M3 heat-set inserts.

Before printing the complete part, measure the outside diameter and length of your inserts. M3 inserts are sold in several dimensions and do not all require the same printed hole.

For my version:

• The upper mounting locations are for M3 inserts.

• The lower carriage holes retain the original carriage-mounting dimensions.

• The lower holes are not intended to receive M3 heat-set inserts unless your particular carriage arrangement specifically requires them.

Install the inserts slowly using a temperature-controlled soldering iron. Keep the insert perpendicular to the mounting face and stop once it is flush. Do not push it far enough to enter the hotend cavity.

Material recommendations

PETG

PETG worked for the prototype and is acceptable for testing, alignment and moderate-temperature use.

Suggested starting range:

• Nozzle: 235–245°C

• Bed: 75–85°C

• Fan: 50-60%

• Speed: 90-250 mm/s

Because this part sits close to the hotend, monitor it for gradual softening or deformation.

ABS or ASA

ABS or ASA is recommended for the final version, particularly when:

• Printing ABS regularly

• Using an enclosure

• Running high hotend temperatures

• Operating with limited airflow around the carriage

• Using a heated chamber

Suggested starting range:

• Nozzle: 245–260°C

• Bed: 95–110°C

• Fan: 0–20%

• Enclosure: Recommended

• Brim: Recommended

Do not use PLA for the permanent mount. Heat from the V6 heatsink, heater block and enclosed chamber can cause PLA to creep or deform.

Installation procedure

1. Print the mount and allow it to cool completely.

2. Test the lower mounting holes against the carriage before installing inserts.

3. Remove any elephant foot around the carriage interface.

4. Confirm that both carriage screws enter without forcing or bending the mount.

5. Install the two M3 heat-set inserts in the upper holes.

6. Fit the E3D V6 into the central groove-mount area.

7. Secure the hotend without overtightening the printed clamp.

8. Attach the Mini Satsana duct using the M3 insert locations.

9. Confirm that the duct does not touch the heater block, silicone sock or nozzle.

10. Move the carriage manually across the complete X-axis.

11. Confirm clearance from the X-endstop, belt, rollers and gantry.

12. Home the printer carefully.

13. Reset the Z-offset.

14. Rebuild the bed mesh.

15. Perform a PID tune for the hotend.

16. Check part-cooling airflow using a small bridging or overhang test.

17. Recheck all screws after the first heat cycle.
