XYZ Davinci 1.0a - creality Ender 3 hot end conversion

Here is a bolt on conversion for adding a Creality Ender 3 hot end on a Davinci XYZ 1.0 or 1.0a. The motherboard will have to be flashed to Repetier 0.92, I'm not sure if the stock setup will work at all. In my situation I'm running a Ramps 1.4 board because I accidently toasted my main motherboard from cleaning the nozzle with a brass brush, which shorted out the heater element wires. Ooops.

Keep in mind the original printer uses a direct drive system, but I was getting frustrated with clearing jams and taking apart the whole hot end and the stepper motor. I ran the E3Dv6 all metal hot end which had a ton of jams, primarily with plastic sticking to the throat in the heat break. I should of bought a titanium throat with a POLISHED inside. The several I tried didnt work for long.

So I converted this over to a Bowden Setup, which in the Davinci 1.0a, the holes were already pre drilled on the frame, so it was a simple bolt on. If you have a 1.0 youll need to make an adapter bracket to move the stepper motor over to. This can be found here - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:1510425

I did the conversion after E3Dv6 hot end, so the fan used in this design is the 30x30 original E3D fan in my build.

Heres what you need -
Creality Ender 3 hot end
Creality MK-8 aluminum extruder
30x30 fan
PTFE tubing
Misc M3 bolts.

The screw holes are M3, which you can use a long M3 screw and use a nut on the backside, or use a M3 nutsert. I used these (uxcell a16041800ux0824 M3 x 3 mm Female Thread Brass Knurled Threaded Insert Embedment Nuts) on Amazon, which have to be applied with a soldering iron to heat up the brass and you press it into the plastic and its a permanent solution. If you dont have those, I've had success just heating up a soldering tip and pressing in a M3 nut, it holds just fine!

This is a work in progress and I will be updating it per feedback from you guys.
Also I cant figure out why Thingiverse uploads my pictures sideways, its normal on my computer when I upload it.
