Da Vinci 2.0: Quick! E3d V6 conversion

These two small parts (cap and mount) can be used to convert your da vinci 2.0 duo to a single extruder E3d V6 without having to print an entirely carriage.

The cap does not need supports and I chose to print the mount with supports to minimize clean up. I also removed the second stepper motor on the carriage which has reduced weight significantly and has allowed me to print at 80mm/s without resonance in the x or y direction.

In Repetier EEPROM setting, I changed the lowered max z-axis by the difference in height between the original and the new nozzle. There is an optical end-stop sensor for the z-axis which is used to home the z-axis. there is a piece of metal on the bed which trips the end stop. I glued a piece of paper on to this, metal tab, to effectively extend the tab the distance of the which you changed the max z-axis travel. Sorry I don't have any pictures of this at the moment, I'm away from home for the next two weeks. You'll have to poke around your printer settin
