Hi Anon,
I just received the v6 today (wasn't here yesterday when they first tried to deliver it).
It's one sweet little thing!!
Especially the new blue holder for the small fan is great. Snug fit, highly stable and very sexy
Making the new printhead will be a lot easier now, because that fan holder can actually be used in practice (in contrary to the v5 part which is just too ugly to use...).
Haven't been able to make the mount yet, as I'm about to produce my first prototype for a complete new frame and z-stage by the end of the week.
If all goes well, I can adapt my existing design to fit the v6 this weekend.
If you have a design ready, I'd be interested to take a peek at it and merge the good ideas
A question on the side:
Does anyone have experience with Nick Foley's Fanduct design? It looks intriguing, but I wonder how well it fares against other designs.

Hey Jonny, have you worked on a V6 mount yet? If not, I have a model of the heatsink reversed from the engineering docs and I'm checking the top against a V6 as soon as a sample is done printing.
Meant to say I could pass you the model if you needed it for your mount design.
I think tomorrow I will print a hotend from the model to see if the dimensions match the real thing.
