Ratrig v-core pro Hemera mount - endstop, bltouch, mgn15

+++++ New version 13 May 2020 - Joined both designs with and without filament sensor +++++ After thoroughly testing various designs for attaching the Duet 3D laser filament v2 to the mount, I've decided to simplify things. Now: - There's only one design that allows you to attach the laser filament sensor from DUET 3D or anything else you feel is necessary for your extruder mount. - If you want to have the filament sensor, simply print the case provided by Duet 3D (link below) and screw it into the two holes I've added to the mount - v24. - If not, just print the STL provided in this design. To make attaching everything easier, follow this order: 1. Screw the Bltouch into place using M2.5 screws. 2. Secure the X endstop with 2x M2 screws and nuts. 3. Attach the belts to the mount on the right using nylon self-locking fasteners (2). Be aware that you'll need to make final adjustments later. 4. Mount the carriage to the Mgn15 carriage using 4x M3 screws. 5. Attach the belt tensioners to the belts, put the nuts in place, and secure them to the left side of the mount. Make sure the long screw (2xM4) from the right side goes through the mount holes and attaches to the nuts (2x M4). 6. Screw the Hemera into place using 4x M3 screws and at least 2 square nuts. 7. Fine-tune the belt tensioners, but don't make them too tight - this may produce ghosting. 8. Optional: filament sensor. 8.1 Attach the Duet 3D filament sensor to the case they designed (link below). 8.2 Connect the Capricorn tube to the Hemera and the filament sensor, cutting it to fit considering its placement on the mount. 8.3 Screw the filament sensor into place using 2x M3 screws. 8.4 Attach a piece of capricorn tubing to the other end. 9. Secure all electrical cabling in place. 10. Happy printing. +++++ OLD: New version 5 May 2020 +++++ Small adjustments have been made for better fitting with the Hemera. The need for brass inserts has been removed, and now two 2.5mm screws should securely hold the BLTouch in place. NEW since 4 May 2020: revised placement of the filament monitor has been placed in a less obtrusive position. +++++ OLD: New version 26 April 2020 +++++ A new version with relevant changes to the design has been uploaded: - The offset between Hemera mount and MGN15 mount has been enlarged to avoid the left z-axis. - The option to include Duet3D laser filament sensor has been added. This design is a remix of "Hemera Mount for Ratrig Vcore2 Pro with BLTouch" by HaythamB and "e3d Hemera/Hermes mount Rat Rig V-Core Pro" by Oranginator, available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4033585 and here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4175390. The first design works great but lacks belt tensioning, while the second design also works well but has no BLTouch support. My design combines both designs and provides a mount for E3D Hemera on a Mgn15 carriage with belt tensioning and BLTouch support. For attaching the BLTouch, please follow the instructions provided by HaythamB at https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4033585. The endstop used in this design is the SS-5GL. The filament sensor in use is the Filament Monitor V2 from Duet3D, available here for more information and STL files: https://duet3d.dozuki.com/Wiki/Duet3dFilamentMonitor_LaserVersion. For attaching the filament sensor to the base and the mount, 2 M3 screws will be needed. It's easy to print on one side with supports only touching the bed - advise to print using ABS/PETG or other material that can handle better the heat. The version with the filament sensor should be printed in dark grey or black, according to Duet3D's recommendations. You'll need to print a filament fan mount of your choice (notice the BLTouch is directly behind the extruder so not all types of fans will work) and the belt tensioners provided by Ratrig with the kit or available here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3963811. Please send me feedback, but expect no further improvements. I'm now testing this design - so this is a work in progress, use at your own risk.
