MeCreator 2 Cyclops/Chimera mount

thingiverse

This mount is specifically designed for the Chimera/Cyclops cooling/hotend on the MeCreator 2. To secure it properly, you'll need two M3 nuts and two M3 10mm screws. My own set from China had a large tolerance, which resulted in overheating due to insufficient cooling with PLA. To address this issue, I applied Copper Grease along the tubes inside the cooling unit. However, grub screws proved to be problematic - they were soft and pointed. One of them was replaced with a standard M3 screw. When adjusting the bed's height, keep in mind that you can adjust the endstop on the back of the printer using a 2.5mm hex screwdriver. I've done this for various setups before. To ensure a smooth adjustment process, loosen the bed screws to achieve some springiness as you search for the home position. The non-a version of this mount is designed for countersink screws, which are readily available in most hardware stores around here. Consequently, they're my go-to choice. I used 10mm screws for mounting the cooling plate, resulting in a secure and reliable setup.
