What do you think about this desing??
The idea is to reduce vibrations grabing the hotend with larger radius and nearer of the mass center, also optimice the use of cooler.
I may have problems with the hot block, but i just could syntonice the PID.
You’re not going to get enough air over the heat sink. You’ll get heat-creep and jam constantly.
I cant adjust power on the cooler and resistance to increment the heat gradiant, or not?
I don’t get jams with a similar configuration. It would be preferred to direct the air to the heat sync and keep the moving air off the heater block. I wrapped mine with fiberglass and kapton tape.
I was thinking about wrapped mine, so do you suggest some changes? Its my first printer, a delta one, so no experience with this, but i think that i can try adding more power to the heat source, to compensate the air flow, so fluctuations go much smaller
Increasing the power is not the ideal solution. It puts more strain on the electronics. A friend of mine recently solved this by cutting a small piece of aluminum from a coke can. It bolts to the bottom holes of the fan and slides between the heater block and heat sync, making sure the air only goes directly on the heat sync.
I ve studied that… uhm i wanted to use same cooler for the PLA cooling…
@Purple_Sensation The hot end fan should be constantly on; a part fan (for PLA) is often kept off, or slowed, for the first layer or two.
I completely agree with that, I’ll redesing the fan system.

thanks xD
I’ve already been working with an E3Dv5 with a similar clamping on my first own-built prototype for around 1,5 years now and it works quite well but you should find a way to integrate the cooling fan into the clamping as cooling is key for the E3D.
I ve tested it, it works very well, just a few changes have been made, but just to solve accesory assembly, i’ll post the link to the desing in a few days.
