Our preferred software stack is to use Repetier-Firmware on the printer, Cura to produce GCode, with Repetier-Host to arrange and pre-process multi-material 3D models. If using the 3x mounting screws on the back face of the heatsink do remember to provide access for an allen key to be able to undo the heatbreak securing grub-screws. Any more than 1mm of the smooth portion of the heatsink protruding from the heatsink can cause issues. However it is important not to set the heatbreaks so that they are too far out of the heatsink. In Chimera this is useful as the nozzles can each be individually levelled with respect to the axes. The heatbreaks slide into the heatsink and are adjustable to an extent, by loosening the grub screws that clamp the heatbreaks inside the heatsink the heatbreaks will be able to slide in and out of the heatsink. If the airflow over the fins is restricted then the hotend will overheat, and will fail to function. The air must be able to enter the fan from the front face, and crucially it must be able to exit from the side of the heatsink without being impeded. It is important to respect the airflow from the fan and over the heatsink. You should only need to use one set of the three holes.

These are provided to allow easy design of mounting systems for most printers. The heatsink has 3 mounting holes on the back face, opposite the fan, and also 3 mounting holes available on the top face.
