  • The Aluminium Heat Block for E3D V6 J-head 3D Printer is a crucial component in 3D printing technology, responsible for maintaining the optimal temperature for extrusion. This documentation provides a detailed explanation of the pins on the heat block and a step-by-step guide on how to connect them.
  • Pinout Explanation:
  • The Aluminium Heat Block has a total of 4 pins, each with a specific function.
  • 1. Pin 1: Thermistor Pin
  • Function: Connects to the thermistor sensor, which measures the temperature of the hotend.
  • Description: This pin is used to read the temperature of the hotend, allowing the printer's control system to maintain the optimal temperature for extrusion.
  • 2. Pin 2: Heater Pin
  • Function: Connects to the heating element (heater cartridge) in the hotend.
  • Description: This pin provides power to the heating element, which heats the hotend to the desired temperature.
  • 3. Pin 3: Fan Pin
  • Function: Connects to the cooling fan, which helps to dissipate heat from the hotend.
  • Description: This pin provides power to the cooling fan, which ensures that the hotend does not overheat during operation.
  • 4. Pin 4: Ground Pin
  • Function: Provides a common ground connection for the thermistor, heater, and fan.
  • Description: This pin serves as a reference point for the other pins, ensuring that the signals are properly grounded and reducing electrical noise.
  • Connection Guide:
  • To connect the pins on the Aluminium Heat Block, follow these steps:
  • Step 1: Connect the Thermistor Pin (Pin 1)
  • Take the thermistor sensor wire and connect it to Pin 1 on the heat block.
  • Ensure the thermistor wire is securely connected to the pin using a suitable connector or solder.
  • Step 2: Connect the Heater Pin (Pin 2)
  • Take the heater cartridge wire and connect it to Pin 2 on the heat block.
  • Ensure the heater wire is securely connected to the pin using a suitable connector or solder.
  • Step 3: Connect the Fan Pin (Pin 3)
  • Take the cooling fan wire and connect it to Pin 3 on the heat block.
  • Ensure the fan wire is securely connected to the pin using a suitable connector or solder.
  • Step 4: Connect the Ground Pin (Pin 4)
  • Take the ground wire from the thermistor, heater, and fan, and connect them to Pin 4 on the heat block.
  • Ensure all ground wires are securely connected to the pin using a suitable connector or solder.

Code Examples
### Example 1: Temperature Control using Arduino
This example demonstrates how to use the Aluminium Heat Block with an Arduino board to control the temperature of the hotend.
```c
#include <Arduino.h>
// Define the pin for the temperature sensor
const int tempSensorPin = A0;
// Define the pin for the heater
const int heaterPin = 9;
void setup() {
  // Initialize the serial communication
  Serial.begin(9600);
// Initialize the heater pin as an output
  pinMode(heaterPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
  // Read the temperature from the sensor
  int tempReading = analogRead(tempSensorPin);
  float temperature = tempReading  5.0 / 1024.0;
// Set the target temperature
  float targetTemp = 200.0;
// Calculate the error
  float error = targetTemp - temperature;
// Control the heater
  if (error > 0) {
    digitalWrite(heaterPin, HIGH);
  } else {
    digitalWrite(heaterPin, LOW);
  }
// Print the temperature
  Serial.print("Temperature: ");
  Serial.print(temperature);
  Serial.println(" C");
// Wait for 1 second
  delay(1000);
}
```
