Ender Hemera Mount - Creality BLTouch compatible

thingiverse

I have both an Ender 3 Pro and an Ender 5, but none of the Hemera mounts suited my needs. I wanted to minimize dimensional loss with this larger/bulkier extruder. I also required a sturdy BLTouch mount, and the aluminum one that came with my BLTouches from Creality was optimal. So I designed this. It fits both the carriage for the Ender 5 and Ender 3. The limit switch trigger is necessary only for the Ender 5; for the 3 (or CR-10), use the cover without the trigger. This design utilizes all stock bolts/screws, plus the following: * 1 M6x3 screw to attach Hemera to the extruder clip that slides into the carriage * 5 M10x3 screws: 3 screws to attach Hemera to the full mount and 2 to attach cover or limit switch trigger * 1 zip-tie Order of assembly: 1. Attach carriage mount to carriage. 2. Attach BLTouch mount (or whatever probe/sensor mount you have that fits in the provided space). 3. Attach Hemera to extruder clip with single screw. 4. Slide clip + Hemera onto mount, placing all wires EXCEPT the thermistor in the channel; the thermistor goes behind the stepper motor. 5. Secure other 3 screws for hemera (one that goes through the clip and carriage mount may be tricky to line up; be VERY careful not to break the delicate mounting point on the Hemera itself, I did the first time I installed this). 6. Screw on cover or trigger limit switch. 7. Zip-tie cable management. 8. Attach whatever fan and cooling shroud you want to the front of the Hemera. 9. Adjust for new nozzle position: * Ender 3: Adjust the position of your Y-endstop; I took 10mm off in my slicer settings. * Ender 5: Take 10mm off Y axis in slicer. Fan mounts used: * Ender 3: [5015 blower used, no worry of dimensional loss](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4042492) * Ender 5: [Stock fan to minimize Y-Axis loss](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4009392)
