ApolloLander - now supports the Creality K1/K1C hotend with unicorn nozzle hotend
🕑 Added 2024-10-14 02:28:39 +0000 UTCLinear rail only, dues to the mounting pattern of the hotend, a stock plate with wheel version wasn't possible on the Apollo.

I do not think the heatsink is an official creality part, but it's the one I made it compatible with as it seems better, But creality does sell the same heater block part if you want the official heater, and they also sell unicorn nozzle.
Triangle labs also sell a heater for crazy high flow and would be compatible with this heatsink, and use regular v6 nozzle I think.
Seems that creality, only sells a heatsink version that is a block of metal (no round heatsink) and may not be compatible, I do not plan on adding compatibility if it isn't compatible as I feel like this heatsink version is superior.
This is a cheap hotend ($20~25, search K1C hotend on aliexpress or amazon and you'll find it easily and get the one with round heatsink as the render above ) with an all in one nozzle+heatbreak kind.
the wires are very short so they need to be spliced and solder longer leads.
Another note is the hotend sits 1mm lower than normal so probe mount will be affected and need to be lowered by 1mm, some probe mount have a lowered version, otherwise you can add washers or contact me.
the normal ducts should work fine with this.
one thing to note is the screws that holds the hotted go directly into the linear rail block which is kind of a nice thing. M3x16 screws

Yes that's the one Of course triangle labs has other offering with similar heater, but that's now an additional option.

Looks like a nice alternative to the Rapido. From Trianglelab you mean the CHCB-OTC with ZS MK8 Plus Nozzle, right? Like this one: https://s.click.aliexpress.com/e/_DdGB6Yl
