Insert the bearings into the new X Carriage and insert the X rods into each.Īttach the belt with zip ties on each side.Īttach the PCB to the carriage with (3) M3 screws. Remove original X Carriage Plate and take the linear motion bearings out of the mounts. More mounting instructions provided by E3D here. I don't know if it is very effective yet.Īssemble the "Wing" to the "X Carriage" with (2) M5x12mm screws and M5 nuts.Īttach the PCB part to the top of the "X Carriage" with (2) M3x8mm screws and M3 nuts.Īttach the part cooler into the notch at the bottom of the carriage and fasten with (2) M3x8mm screws and M3 nuts.Īttach the Hemera extruder to the "Wing" plate with (4) M3 screws. I'm not sure about the part cooling duct. Supports are only needed for the part cooling duct. The belt attaches the same way as the original belt attachment. They slide into the X plate very snuggly. The oridinal X rail linear motion bearings are used. But I think with re-homing the nozzle there won't be too much lost in the build volume. Also the nozzle gets pushed to the front on the Y axis about 10mm. I decided to rotate the Hemera extruder 45° towards the display in order to not lose so much build volume in the X direction. Here's a new approach to attaching the E3D Hemera to the Anycubic i3 Mega. I will tidy those up a little eventually. I also haven't done anything with the wires yet. I think the X direction is still the default build dimension though. I am going to re-center the bed and see what happens. The home park position is off the print bed by about 10mm. I think the V2 part cooling duct will be way more effective than V1.Īfter installation I have noticed that some parts need a little rework so I have replaced some parts with V2 versions of each. When I get more I will install all the new parts and test thoroughly. New versions are still untested since I have run out of zip ties to tie the belt. The X direction has not suffered any loss due to rotating the extruder -45°. I squeezed the extruder a little closer to the X rails resulting in only a little more than 6mm offset in the negative Y direction. Increased the size of the end stop plat on the Part Cooler.Īll new V2 versions of all 4 parts. Adjusted the belt attachment on the X Carriage by moving to the back slightly to improve alignment with belt path. Replace the X Carriage and Part Cooler parts with V3.
