6 Way Microfit connector

Dougal1957

you would have to remove nearly all the material on the side and also reduce the diameter of the screw head for the clip to pass it, it is easier (and safer IMHO) to turn the connector round

Thanks for the feedback.

Your Welcome Tony it wasn't a big issue on the beta with the collar mount as that could be rotated was still tight to get at the clip to release it but it was possible this one you can't get it on without removing the retaining clip.

I haven't started wiring mine yet so rotate the connector before wiring seems to be the consensus?

Edit - done, not too bad actually used a plumber's wrench (not necessarily a recommendation).

Lykle has now redesigned the adaptor so it should be ok now

I have modified the adapter and created a new version.
I have modified the pillar closest to the 6 way plug to avoid the latch all together.
The bolt now sits under the latch.
Here is a link.

Will you release the STL on its own ?

ps just checked the maps way out east then last time I was on that part of the Island was just before the Turks invaded?

Zesty_Lykle

OK, added the file to the Thingiverse page as well.
Only added the STL version, called V2.2 https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2453322

Sorry that I didn't release it in Thingiverse straight away. Will be tricky to print, lot of support needed.

Jarery

Any recommendations for printing in regards to supports ?
Shipping to canada costs more than the parts….

I was thinking that given the large nut under the adaptor is hard to access with the adaptor in place, for example to tighten the hotend if it gets loose, maybe the adaptor could incorporate a nut trap to fit the M12? nut provided by Duet. This way the nut would be captive, the heatsink could be screwed tightly into it easily, and then the hotend position set by tightening the heatbreak into the nozzle at the desired position.
