I am in the process of converting my Wanhao i3 to an E3D V6 Titan extruder combo using my own Titan mounting plate and I have compiled a few tips, tricks, and helpful hints about converting your Wanhao i3 style 3D printer to a Titan extruder so let&#8217;s jump into it. First the things you&#8217;ll need. You essentially Need 5-6 things to convert. The first 2 being the most obvious which are an E3D V6 hotend and the Titan extruder. The 2 you&#8217;ll need to print off yourselves which are the Titan mounting plate, and the 3rd rail tower brace mod made by user delukart. The 5th if you don&#8217;t have some are M4 button head screws either 12mm or 16mm in length to mount your mounting plate to the bearing blocks (if you dont have them you can buy a pack of 100 of them off of Amazon for 8 bucks). Lastly and most importantly is an 18Ncm NEMA 17 pancake motor because if you use the stock extruder motor it will crash into the other side of the X axis causing you to lose X length. So in all the mechanical and such (the hotend, extruder, and the stepper motor) will cost you a total of $144 US dollars and I&#8217;ll be linking to where I&#8217;ll be buying my supplies down below. Also digging into it I found a post on the Ultimaker forum by user Marcel2016 who found the Titan&#8217;s e step per mm multiplier which is 3.58. So if you&#8217;re still using the stock 96 e steps per mm on your Wanhao i3\/Maker Select\/Cocoon Create that value will be multiplied to around 351 (350.84 if you want to be exact). The only real issue I have come across is that there&#8217;s limited space to install a print cooling apparatus and I am firmly on that and am currently designing on that should fit the E3D V6 in that limited space. This print cooling duct should be up in a few days or so. That&#8217;s pretty much all I have you now, fill free to ask any questions you want and I&#8217;ll get back to you as soon as I can. Have asks good day and happy printing!E3D V6E3D Titan18Ncm NEMA 17 pancake motor3rd rail tower mod made by user delukartForum post where I found the Titan e step multiplier http:\/\/ift.tt\/2adkpwN<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Link to my Wanhao i3\/Maker Select\/Cocoon Create Titan mounting plateSo I posted this to the Wanhao i3\/Maker Select\/Cocoon Create facebook group but I thought I&#8217;d post it here too for my beloved \/r\/3Dprinting.
