Install the heater cartridge and thermistor Printed mount for BIQU H2 and H2 5015 Fan bracket (this one takes less space).To install the BIQU H2 on your Ender 6, you need to have the following: With a bit more tweaking I think 0.2 will be possible. I wasn’t expecting the print quality to be this good considering the speed it was printed at.Īll the moving parts work as expected, and I was able to move the 0.3 mm tolerance indicator which is decent. It was printed at 100mm/s with 4000 acceleration and took ~7 hours. This was the ultimate test for the Ender 6 running the BIQU H2 extruder. The third cube was printed at 130mm/s with the calibration values tuned to see if I can push the speeds a bit further, but the printer moves a bit too much for my liking and the print quality decreased.Īll the speeds for internal and external walls were set to 100mms and the infill was set to 130mm/s for all three cubes. This is the cleanest cube I was able to print at this speed and this will be my “daily use” configuration. The second cube was printed at the same speed, but with tuned pressure advance and input shaper. The first one was printed right after installing the H2 extruder with no calibration. These calibration cubes were printed with different speeds and settings. This is the print quality you can achieve, by upgrading the Ender 6 with a BIQU H2 extruder and installing Klipper. Ender 6 results with Klipper and BIQU H2 extruder When you install the BIQU H2, the hotend is also improved, even though the stock heatbreak is still PTFE lined.įinally, you will be able to print flexible filaments like TPU and TPE with better quality and faster print speeds. This improves print quality and allows the use of less retraction distance. Installing the BIQU H2 extruder on the Ender 6 provides much better filament control due to the short filament path it has.

I previously covered the main benefits for upgrading any printer to direct drive in my Direct Drive Extruder Buyer’s Guide, but here are the main reasons why I did it on the Ender 6. 8 Wrapping up Why convert the Ender 6 to direct drive?
