[MOUNT] E3D Hemera on Ender3 #86

Closed calebols closed 2 years ago

calebols commented 2 years ago

Is your printer similar to any that currently already have support? Please list any similar printers that already have Piezo mounts I couldn't find any when searching google or specifically Thingiverse

What mounting scheme do you plan to use? Choose between: On-Printhead, Under-Bed, Gantry-Mount, or Other [if Other, please describe] I'd like to mount this to the printhead but I'm open to suggestions. I currently have a 3-point bed leveling system in place if that makes a difference.

Any existing mounts with public links? Create a bullet-point list of any links to mounts similar to what you need, for example, from Thingiverse, TinkerCAD, GrabCAD, etc. There are none that I could find. I saw 1 for a hemera but for a completely different printer that used linear rails instead of the aluminum extrusions found on an ender.

Describe alternatives you've considered A clear and concise description of any alternative solutions or features you've considered. Other than going with a different ABL system, I'm not sure what alternatives there are. The biggest "alternative" I've considered was finding a way to put the piezo's under the bed but I've not figured out how to use them with the bed springs as the bed springs have so much tension that I would think they would always be triggered.

Additional context Add any other context or screenshots about the feature request here. So, I didn't see a place to specify above but I've got an original Ender 3 with an E3D hemera mount utilizing the new REVO nozzle ecosystem. As mentioned above, I did switch out the 4-point bed leveling screws with 3-point bed leveling screws. I don't think it will matter for the mounting but I've got an BTT SKR Mini e3 v3 board installed and I'm running Klipper on a Raspi 3b+.

Thank you in advance for any help!

With something like the Hemera, you'd probably be better off going with the under-bed mount just due to the inertia involved with those extruder.

If you wanted it on-head still, I'd probably recommend switching to MGN rails to address the stability issues that might crop up

Thank you for that...I'm not sure how I missed that link! Unless it was because I had waaayyy too many tabs open while searching :). I'll give the under-bed mounting a try and see how it goes. Thanks again!

You bet! If you find that doesn't work for you, feel free to reopen this ticket and I'll see if I can carve out some time
