![]() I ended up printing a custom mount to keep the v6 nozzle pretty close to the stock nozzle and reduce the offset to the BLtouch. Still getting it set up so can't report back (my v6 hotend came with a defective thermistor so I'm waiting on some replacements), but these are proven, well-known components. Would have bought a Hemera except they aren't available, so went with the trianglelabs BMG clone and a genuine V6. Rather than mess around with the all-metal Creality extruder, figured I'd go straight to direct drive and the hotend I wanted to run. The latter is cheaper and more lightweight which allows faster extruder movement without introducing vibrations and ringing, the former got better filament constraint and workmanship. ![]() Personal recommendation: Either the E3D Hemera with a copper volcano block and copper nozzles, or the BMG with a V6 heatsink, copper volcano block and copper nozzles. Or print your own mounting plate, thingiverse got you covered. Mounting Hardware: Printermods MDD Just one maker of a direct drive mounting plates, get the Ender5 version here. Includes the hot-end, but can also use the Volcano copper block. E3D Hemera Relatively new, very easy to mount, geared and with dual-drive like the BMG. Strongly recommended together with the V6. For the Microswiss hotend you'll need to run a short bodge tube, V6 hotends can be mounted directly. Very good design, pretty lightweight, can be used as a direct drive extruder or bowden extruder. Extruders: Bondtech BMG A geared extruder that drives the filament from both sides. Recommend getting it together with the titanium heatbreak and volcano copper block. Available both as a bowden- or direct drive version. E3D V6 An old classic, and just because it's old doesn't mean it's bad. Unfortunately patented, meaning you buy into a closed ecosystem. Mosquito A rather interesting hot end that is starting to gain popularity due to the way the heater block is supported, taking strain off of the heat break. It's only available as a bowden version though, so you will need to run a short bodge tube from the extruder to the hot end. ![]() Good hot ends you could take into consideration: Micro Swiss A favourite among many people, and pretty much a drop-in replacement for the standard ender5 hot end.
