Hypercube Evolution Compact Bondtech BMG Mount (WIP)

thingiverse

I'm posting the STL, STEP, and Fusion 360 design file because I've decided to move away from that software. Maybe someone can take my work and finish it. I wanted to upgrade my Hypercube Evolution with an original X axis mount plate to a direct drive Bondtech BMG. Unfortunately, all other mounts are either too large, too complicated, or cause you to lose some build volume. This solution was designed to have the BMG mount 'backwards' with the extruder motor facing towards you. My prototype looked very promising, with zero X or Y loss and about 3mm of Z loss - the motor had to be mounted a little lower to prevent it from hitting the cross member above it. If you're starting a new HEVO from scratch, I suggest adding 5-10mm to all dimensions just to give yourself some extra room.
