Step 08.28 — Seat the hotend in the rear printhead half¶
Step 28 of 65 · Chapter 08 — Toolhead: Stealthburner, Clockwork 2, Revo HF, Nitehawk-SB V2
Parts:
- the rear printhead half with its inserts · already on the bench
- E3D Revo HF hotend, assembled ×1 · Other box
Do: Drop the Revo Voron heatsink into the rear printhead half so the heatsink's groove locates on the printed rib, with the HeaterCore's wires pointing up the side p.40 draws them on. Do not bend anything yet.
Check
The heatsink cannot rotate in the pocket, and the nozzle protrudes centrally.
What you're looking at
The rear printhead half is the pocket the hotend lives in. The heatsink's groove locates on a moulded rib that stops the hotend rotating when you hand-tighten the nozzle. SB p.40 draws the hotend in this half: it goes in before the wires are routed.
