RigidBot Pico Hybrid Mount

thingiverse

!!! UNTESTED !!! WORK IN PROGRESS !!! USE AT YOUR OWN RISK!!! ========================================================= Lets you mount the Pico Hybrid with the included collet to the RigidBot via a BMG or two. If you use a LH BMG on a single extruder plate, pick the "`LH - Single`" option. For dual extruder plates, pick the "`LH - Dual`" option. The "`RH`" option fits both single and dual extruder plates. Do **NOT** print out of PLA as this mount comes into direct contact with a stepper motor, which reaches temps at or above the glassing point of PLA. All other filament types should be fine. Clearance is SUPER tight with this mount, but I opted to try working within the confines of the stock plate rather than remaking the entire plate from scratch. See the third preview pic for just how close the tolerances are. As a result of this, you will need to unbolt the plate from the front linear bearing mount in order to install or remove this mount. The part fan sits within 1/16" of the smooth rod if installed perfectly square so I am unable to change this. For feedback, **please reach out on the MetaForm Discord** as I am active there and can far more easily diagnose issues on there. I do not get notifications for new comments on Thingiverse and rarely check it. **IMPORTANT** "Deep cut" plate is REQUIRED!!! If you did not purchase one from ReliaBuild, you will need to print one from here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:5214365 **ALSO IMPORTANT** I do not know how much the Z height changes with this design, but it should be fairly close. You *might* need to adjust the Z limit switch and/or bed springs for this design. **BREAKOUT BOARD** If you wish to retain the stock breakout board, you will need to print something like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:558444 **NOTES** - You may need to flip the dual plate over to make the holes line up. It will only fit one way, with side that has the mount holes further towards the back of the printer on the left side. - Brass heated inserts are **required** for this design. This is because the bracket must hold the entire weight of the motor in a cantilevered way to allow ease of printing. No I will not be posting any other option as I do not consider it safe to do so due to lack of structural integrity - Pancake stepper is **HIGHLY** recommended due to the above point
