Anycubic Kobra Plus Direct Drive Mount II v1.0

thingiverse

I wanted to make a mount that would function as closely as possible as a direct drive would. This is the final version after 7 or 8 designs that felt too awkward to be practical. I saw various existing adapters out there, but I really wanted to be able to put together something using all the original parts of my printer and with a minimum of externally sourced parts. You will only need to source three (3) M3 nylon locknuts, one or two collect lock-clips, along with wire to extend the length of the extruder stepper motor and the filament sensor depending on which version you choose to use. I don't count filament as an externally sourced part.< EDIT Dec 7th 2023 - Thanks to a comment by user ggioo a couple of days ago, I was made aware that the Vyper has a slightly different ribbon cable mount. Please use my Vyper-specific mount located at this link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6360400 >This mount should work on Anycubic's Kobra Plus and Kobra Max models that use the same printhead assembly as shown in the pictures. It also has a built-in chain-link attachment point that is compatible with UncleSash's Anycubic Vyper V2 Kabelschlepp (Chainlink) or its remixes. (https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5202027)If you have a Kobra Plus and choose to go all out and go with the chainlinks, my version of UncleSash's chainlinks and PSU cable split along with my version of the platform mount is available. Once I get home, I'll post how many of each style of chain link is needed to complete the conversion. Here's the link to my version of those 4 parts: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6371038< EDIT Dec 12th 2023 - I added an STL that will allow anybody to only need to print a 'Fitment Test' of the mounting without having to print the whole thing. If the Fitment Test piece fits and both holes line up, you should be good to print. >
