Anycubic Chiron Aux Frame for Palette 2

thingiverse

I was searching for a suitable place to mount the Palette2 on the Chiron since the extruder was converted to a DirectDrive a few months ago, but nothing seemed to fit well or guide filament properly. Since feeding material from the top appears to be the most promising approach, this frame was designed to position the Palette2 above the extruder/print bed, allowing the use of the standard PTFE tube supplied with the Palette2. A downside is that you'll lose approximately 50mm to 80mm in build height (370mm vs. 450mm), depending on the extruder assembly in place. So, what do I need to print? You'll require: * 2x Main Bracket * 2x Angle Bracket => 1x "as is" and 1x mirrored in slicer * 2x Upper Fixing Bracket => 1x "as is" and 1x mirrored in slicer * 1x Palette2 Fixture * 4x Palette2 Bracket * 1x Palette 2 Wall Mount Bracket.stp (included in the original unit shipment and added here for reference only; design and (c) by MosaicMFG) Each component features a clearance of 0.2mm at the joints, so the parts should fit flush when assembled, considering printer tolerances (yes, everything was printed on the Chiron). What else do I need? To assemble the frame, use 8x M4x20 hex screws and nuts and 12x M4x12 hex screws and T-Nuts to mount everything to the Chiron aluminum frame. The original Palette2 bracket (shipped with the unit) is mounted with up to 9x M4x12 sinkhead screws and nuts - the fixture has nut guides for easier assembly (see pictures for details). Palette2 fixture and bracket use 8x M4x18 sinkhead and M4 nuts for assembly and wrap around 2x 10mm steel or aluminum rods (i.e. from a Kossel Delta printer) to carry the entire package (currently using M4x25 hex screws for the POC as visible in the pictures...). And some screws to fix the rods (4x M4x35 hex screws and washers) Work in Progress... Knowing this is the first shot, modifications will happen within the next couple of weeks and months during testing and printing... so feel free to use the STEP file attached to adapt the design to your needs.
