I decided to make a change to the toolhead for a number of reasons. Maintenance was tough with the extruder and hotend mounted to one plate, the toolhead was inducing some hotend movement as it was connected to the extruder. This design mitigates those issues and the hotend is moved lower to move the center of gravity lower. I saved about 2 grams weight with this(LOL) at 289G without the carriages.
I have printed, so far, 3 rear upper ducts and 1-11 minute annex cube. Results seem to be the same so far so I will need to print a 4 minute benchy to see if it can take the pain!
The original Goliath heat synk was not used! I had some left over E3DV6 smooth bore heat synks and cut one down for this build. This is truly a Frankenstein build!
