Buck Converter Mount for Hero Me

thingiverse

This design enables effortless installation of an LM2596 Buck converter onto a PCB attached to a Hero Me Gen3. The layout accommodates any PCB featuring 15x30mm spaced mounting holes, making it versatile for various applications. Key modifications were made to the Creality Ender 5/Ender 3 mount; if you wish to adapt this for another mount, note that the center-to-center distance between the mounting holes is precisely 10.625 mm. Assembly involves securing the Hero Me to the base of the mount using M3x(15-30)mm bolts. Next, insert a 6mm bolt into the recessed hole and a 10mm bolt into the raised hole. To ensure accurate tightening, use the 10mm bolt as a guide for the 6mm bolt's tightening process. Then, remove the 10mm bolt to make way for the boost converter. Finally, insert and securely fasten both 10mm bolts. Required components include: 1x M3x6mm bolt 2x M3x10mm bolts 1x M3 Nut 2x M3x(15-30)mm bolts (for attaching the PCB to the Hero Me)
