Anycubic i3 Mega Hemera mount for up to 9mm belts

thingiverse

I created this thing for myself, but if it helped you out, please consider a donation via http://bit.ly/Bart3d or the TIP DESIGNER button. An E3D Hemera mount designed specifically for the Anycubic I3 Mega 3D printer. This project is geared towards tinkerers who are comfortable with modifying and customizing their printer. The design does not support the Anycubic hub, so users must do their own wiring like I did or modify the design to add a hub support. The mount will fit up to 9mm wide belts, which helps compensate for the extra weight of the Hemera. Some notes: * This mount replaces all the stock hotend parts, including plates and bearing mounts. * The belt can be up to 9mm wide (for a 9mm belt, replace the idler and pulley). * There is no mount for the I3 mega hub connector. I removed the hub and did my own wiring. * Step files are included for anyone who wants to modify the design. * It works on my i3 mega with a 9mm Gates belt, 9mm Gates pulley, and 9mm Gates idler. You will lose +/- 1cm build volume on the X axis with the Hemera. This is unavoidable unless E3D releases the Hemera with a compact stepper or you shift your printsurface to the left or design a compact mount for the x axis linear rods/idler mount. Parts needed: * 4 m3 x 20 bolts (to mount the Hemera) * 4 m3 x 16 bolts * 4 m3 x 16 hex nuts My i3 Mega designs are in this collection: https://www.thingiverse.com/bartolomeus/collections/anycubic-i3-mega For the design, I used this great model of the Hemera: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4025946
