101hero NEMA17 Upgrade (401sidekick)

cults3d

I am still working on the RAMPS 1.4 config file with Marlin 1.1.0. Currently, the printer moves around and extrudes slowly, but it's not yet print-worthy. Testing parts to upgrade my 101hero from its gear reduction steppers to actual NEMA17 steppers, with a bowden extruder. I am calling this modification the 401sidekick. You will need to print three of the NEMA mounts and one of the bowden extruders. Current parts were printed on a Prusa i3 Mk2 clone, but as long as the 101hero is in working condition, I see no reason it cannot be printed on it. Parts to keep from the original 101hero include six M4 screws, three GT2 16T timing belt pulleys with a five-millimeter bore, and three black plastic mounts from old steppers. Parts needed not included from the original 101hero are one M3x30 screw or an M3x32 screw with washers or similar to shim, twelve M3x25 screws, one M3x20 screw, two M3x8 screws, two M3x6 screws, nineteen M3 washers, fifteen M3 nuts, one 608 bearing, one spring, one MK7 hobbled gear with a five-millimeter shaft, four NEMA17 steppers, one new controller board, one brass PTFE push coupler, and one PTFE tubing for 1.75 millimeter filament. Electronics being used include three NEMA17 pancake steppers, one NEMA17 full stepper, four crimp plugs and connectors for stepper wiring, one RAMPS 1.4 with A4988 stepper drivers, one full graphic LCD screen with a RAMPS connector, and one stock 101hero extruder.
