Ender 3 CR10S Hero Me Remix 3 For Basaraba Direct Drive Upgrade

thingiverse

January 2020: You might want to take a look at my latest design - Hydra Fan Duct & Tool Change System which I think is significantly better in many ways than this Hero Me remix. Link: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4062242 Update: January 16, 2020 I have uploaded revised RH & LH 5 degree duct V2.6 with increased elevation to air flow. This was a member request and untested prototype, so please treat it as work in progress. Update: August 17, 2019 I have uploaded revised RH 5 degree duct V2.5 which allows more clearance for the heat & thermistor cables. Update: August 16, 2019 B EZABLTouch Plate_V1 incorrect hand - I have uploaded EZABLTouch Plate_V2. Update: August 16, 2019 I have uploaded a work in progress fixing plate for an EZABL sensor. This was a member request with an 18mm mounting hole specified. Since I've never used one before, this is definitely work in progress. All comments are welcome. Update: August 4, 2019 I have uploaded 5015 Ducts (Straight & Offset) with BL Touch mounting panel and mounting plate. I don't own a BL Touch, so this design was based on 3D models - it's definitely work in progress. I have increased the thickness of the duct mount to the base unit to make it even more robust on the LH duct. You may now need to use M3 x 10 mm to fix to the base unit. You will require 2 x M3 x 6 mm bolts to mount the BLT fixing plate to the duct and 2 x M3 x 6 mm bolts to mount the BLT to the fixing plate. The fixing plate allows for 6mm height variation. Update: July 28, 2019 I have uploaded an M3 spanner-nut holder to help fix 5015 fans if long nosed pliers are not available. This is a remix of my previous Hero Me remix which works with the BASARABA INNOVATIONS USA Direct Drive upgrade kit for the Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro & CR10S. This remix involves the base unit (2 versions), dual 4010 fan duct and the dual 5015 fan duct. The dual fan duct also has 2 versions - one straight and one offset to 5 degrees to clear the motor. The parts in this thing are based on the standard stock hot end only at this time. The Remix 2 duct fans are compatible with these base units but I have revised them with hopefully better air flow and improved seating for the 5015 fans, so it may be worth reprinting. I am waiting for my UK supplier to obtain stock of the Ender 5 direct drive kit, so I am unable to provide an Ender 5 version at this time. All parts were rebuilt from scratch in Fusion 360. Apologies in advance if any of the items below are included in another remix - I have not spotted them. In this remix I have: 1. Created a sturdy 3 point fix solution for the base to the mounting plate, integrating the direct drive motor spacer within the base units themselves. 2. Extended the wire management of the fans, hiding cables with a cable channel & cap across the hot end and a fan duct wire retention detail. 3. Provided an installation guide for each base unit. Printing and Installation Notes 1. Please refer to the direct drive upgrade kit documentation for basic installation guidance - if unsure, please contact me and I will attempt to explain any specific installation issues. 2. Be careful when manipulating fan duct wires - most low cost fans have very delicate soldering and can easily break. I have re-soldered many wires during the prototyping of this thing. I have found the Creality branded fans to be much more robust and better performance than other unbranded items. 3. If you are using the standard plastic stock extruder head, you will need to snip off the cable shroud clips adjacent to the bowden tube nozzle to clear the new cable tie retention detail.
