Elegoo Neptune 2 Hero Me Gen 5 Remix - No Home shift needed

cults3d

So the Hero Me Gen 5 is a pretty amazing printhead solution for almost all printers. I used it for a few prints myself. However, I did not like the fact the print nozzle had shifted along the y -axis and needed me to either muck around in the firmware or add gcode in my slicer. So I took the Gen 5 base from the Hero Me platform, took some measurements of the mounting, and hacked together a base piece that removes the need for the adapter. The hotend can be mounted directly to the plate as is, with the printhead around it. I also added a janky way to mount a BLTouch. This is a work in progress. I do not know if I'll stick with it at all, but for now, I've tried to make an easy to install adapter for it.
