Anycubic i3 Mega Direct Drive - (Mirrored) Bondtech BMG

thingiverse

After stumbling upon MT2's design for the Bondtech BMG direct drive, I was immediately drawn to using it as a starting point for my i3 Mega. The link to the original design is here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3680044. I took MT2's design and flipped it upside down, moving the tab to the correct side for the micro switch on the X-axis. The body was the only part I modified, as the other components seemed symmetrical and should fit together perfectly without any issues. I also had trouble figuring out how to flip MT2's logo backwards. I needed to make this change because I originally purchased a mirrored version of the design, which allowed me to move the stepper motor outside its original placement. However, the extruder remained in the same position, so I still had to rotate it 180 degrees. To be honest, I'm still struggling to get the hang of using any design software. It's much easier to use than I expected, but I'm not there yet. If only it were as simple to use as Photoshop! With a bit more practice and patience, maybe one day I'll be able to design my own things to share with others.
