| BreakNeck Toolhead for the Voron ecosystem. CPAP + experimental filament path | ||

| ## Embrace the Unpolished Chaos: Enter the Beta Experience! | ||
|
|
||
| ## THIS IS A WIP | ||
| BreakNeck is currently in Open Alpha. The toolhead is NOT yet feature complete, and will not be fully documented until open beta. Please be patient and ask in the discord if you have any issues. | ||
| You're on the cusp of something special – a journey into the heart of innovation where rough edges and uncharted pathways converge. | ||
|
|
||
| ## [> > > ASSEMBLY GUIDE < < <](https://github.com/leddhedd/BreakNeck/blob/main/Images/Assembly/Assembly-Instructions.md) | ||
| Why the Beta Phase? We're not seeking the faint praise of the masses. We want the daring minds, the ones unafraid to venture into the unknown and share their unvarnished thoughts. Your feedback will be the chisel that refines our creation into a work of art. | ||
|

| Documentation? We're shedding the shackles of traditional handholding. No dense manuals here! Instead, we'll learn together through experimentation and intuition. It's a bit like learning to dance in the rain – unpredictable, but oh-so-liberating. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|  | ||
| Anticipating a hint of meh-ness? Let's be real – diamonds are born from pressure, and our journey is no different. There might be a hiccup or two, but it's all part of the charm. We're crafting an experience that's as authentic as it gets. | ||
|
|
||
| So, are you up for the challenge? Ready to be part of a story that celebrates imperfections and turns them into strengths? Embrace the thrill of being part of the Beta Experience. Your adventure starts now! | ||

||
| ## What is this? | ||
| And yes... Maz did get ChatGPT to write this in order to let Leddhedd get a little sleep for a couple of days! | ||
|
|
||
| if you have stumbled across this repo somehow in the early stages of development, and there is very little info here, a little summary of what is going on: | ||
| ## Whats next? | ||
|
|
||
| Breakneck is a toolhead designed primarily for the Voron ecosystem, and any other front rail, front belt CoreXY Printer. | ||
| The main features and testing focus of the toolhead are remote air cooling, and a deliberate bend in the post-extruder filament path, for the purposes of inducing a bowden-like buffering effect. | ||
| During the course of the beta we will continue to work on the supporting documentation, build guides and the configuator. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
| ## Where is the CAD? | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Cpap cooling somewhat speaks for itself, its more cooling than you can typically get. more to come with updates, but the project focuses currently on 7040 blower fans commonly avaliable on AliExpress, and looking into small dyson hairdryer blower fans and other BLDC ducted fan options. As development continues, the focus will move away from the toolhead and more toward maximising performance from the remote fan whilst sourcing cheap and openly avaliable parts. | ||
|
|
||
|  | ||
|
|
||
| The post-extruder filament path bend is a solution to 2 problems, first is duct pathing is a nightmare with an extruder directly above the hotend, but most critically, bowden machines have been shown in several examples to produce cleaner walls and prints than direct drive machines. this effect comes at a tradeoff of course, with bowden machines having PA values that are essentially uncontrollable at high speed printing. | ||
| the filament path bend aims to create a small buffer of filament between the extruder and the hotend, in order to deliberately increase PA values and reduce the visibility of any extruder artifacting in the extruded lines. | ||
| The claims about bowden in general and easy to verify, and 24/7 printing has several videos, as well as MirageC on their efforts to reduce issue6 and VFA artifacting on their prints, with many commenters, and MrageC himself showing how clean a bowden machine can print when looking at this isolated artifact | ||
| in testing so far, the breakneck extruder mount seems to be producing a similar effect to the bowden tube, but keeping PA values much more in check than a full bowden system, allowing for more potential quality and less limitations on high-speed printing. | ||

| # WE STAND ON THE SHOULDERS OF GIANTS | ||
|
|
||
| i want to give a particularly huge thanks to DoubleT, aTinyShellScript, Derpimus, Corvid, Zruncho, Maz, Kmobs, Smokescreens, Zackm0n, ohpvp, DWTas, ByThorsThunder, Frank.af, Kyleisah and many others for getting stuck in, test printing parts, and in some particularly idiotic cases, trialing, fitting and using the toolhead. the 3dp community wouldnt be what it is without the contibution and help of individuals like these, and i certainly wouldnt have completed the project to this level of polish without their help. | ||
|
|
||
| Huge thanks to all the guys over at the Armchair Engineering, Voron, and Annex discord for all the help and support in bringing this project together. | ||
| The CAD is undergoing some housekeeping before both .STEP and .F3D files will be made avaliable shortly. |
