This is my printer head mount that I used for my Creality Ender 3, but this may work with similar 3D printers. Currently this doesn't work with any auto-bed levelling.

These parts have worked on my printer, no post-processing is needed, although experiences may differ.

update history

14/05/2020 - First upload. The EndoHook part already has improvements but I haven't printed them yet. I needed to hold the outer parts when it was joining on the top, so be careful for that.

18/05/2020 - Added version suffixes. Updated EndoHook (1.1 & 1.2), changed focal length to 5cm (from 6cm). 1.2 is more secure, but use 1.1 if you are having troubles printing the full cylinder.

07/04/2021 - Added 5015Blower_1.0, which is a little flimsy but I don't plan on fixing this version as I am drafting version 2.0.

04/05/2022 - Added to Printables, still drafting v2.0!

print settings

Use any infill that you see fit, print the 4010 parts with the flat side down.

I used the following screws:

  • 2 x M3x5 screws (Plate-4010Fan)
  • 4 x M3x6 screws (Plate, Plate-4010Blower / Plate-5015Blower)
  • 4 x M3x12 screws (4010Fan) or M3x16 screws (EndoHook)
  • 2 x M2x10 screws (4010Blower, factory screws)
  • 1 x M3x16 screw with M3 nut (5015Blower)

standard installation

NOTE: Printed parts are bolded

  1. Ensure that your printer head has fully cooled down and is turned off.
  2. Remove the factory shroud that houses both fans.
  3. Remove 4010 Fan and 4010 Blower from the factory shroud.
  4. Remove hotend from the factory plate.
  5. Attach Plate to the factory plate using screws from the factory shroud.
  6. Re-attach hotend to the factory plate.
  7. Attach 4010Fan to Plate using M3x5 screws.
  8. Attach 4010 Blower to 4010Blower using factory screws (M2x10).
  9. Attach 4010Blower to Plate using M3x6 screws.
  10. Attach 4010 Fan to 4010Fan using M3x12 screws.

###USB endoscope installation

  1. Attach USB endoscope to EndoHook by using screw section.
  2. Remove 4010 Fan from 4010Fan.
  3. Attach 4010 Fan and EndoHook to 4010Fan using M3x16 screws.

###5015 Blower installation

NOTE: you will need to either splice a new cable for the 5015 Blower or make an extension cable to ensure the wiring is long enough.

  1. Attach 5015 Blower to 5015Blower using M3x16 screw and nut.
  2. Remove 4010Blower and wiring (keep the M3 screws).
  3. Attach 5015Blower to Plate using previous M3 screws and connect wiring.
