Ender 3 Pico Mount

prusaprinters

<p>This is a mount Metaform's Pico hotend for Creality Ender 3 printers.or any printer using that style carriage. &nbsp;It maintains the same X-Y position for the nozzle, but does lose around 10mm in Z height. &nbsp;The plate should fit snuggly over the posts on the carriage, be aware that you need to put in the nuts before you mount the plate. &nbsp;I only say this because I had to remove the plate multiple times to do it. The clamp provides a snug fit, but does need a set screw to fully prevent it from rotating. &nbsp;</p><p>I've include a mount for a BL/CR touch ABL. &nbsp;It's been testing with a CR Touch, and should work with a BL but as I didn't have a spare one to test with I can't guarantee it. &nbsp;A couple words about the ABL mount, this is a tight fit. &nbsp;If you use M3 Cap head screws the screw that holds the plate on will need to be put in, before the the screw that holds the ABL to the mount. &nbsp;Button head screws should fix that. &nbsp;Also, this puts the ABL near the minimum height above the nozzle tip. &nbsp;I've tried to raise it further, but the screw to mount the bracket to the backplate limits how high I've been able to take it.&nbsp;</p><p>Print settings</p><ul><li>Layer Height: &nbsp;.2mm &nbsp;</li><li>Infill: 15% &nbsp; &nbsp;Top and Bottom layers really have more influence with these part</li><li>Material: PLA, or any other that you prefer</li><li>Support: Yes, to print bed. &nbsp;This is primarily so that the screw and nut recesses print cleanly</li></ul><p>Notes:</p><p>I printed the parts with supports, in the orientation shown. &nbsp;The supports are optional, but it does produce cleaner recessed holes, at the cost of the trouble of removing support material. &nbsp;</p><p>Materials needed for mount</p><ul><li>3 - M3x6mm Cap Head Screw, Used on right side holes of backplate, and set screw in clamp</li><li>2 - M3x8mm Cap Head Screw, Used in left side holes to mount backplate</li><li>2 - M3x12mm Cap Head Screw, Used in clamp</li><li>2 - M3 nuts, Used in backplate to mount clamp</li></ul><p>&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;</p>
