RW Factory: Chiron Core XY/E5Cube Conversion

thingiverse

To proceed with confidence, ensure you have the following essential items: - An Anycubic Chiron (no questions asked) - Familiarity with assembly and disassembly, including Lego skills - A metric Allen set from 1.5 to 4.5 mm as a minimum - A hammer for unexpected situations - A roll of PLA+ or ABS filament; I recommend the GizmoDorks Glow in the dark Blue, which prints easily on my Kossel without an enclosure A second printer is indispensable: - Without one, you'll be stuck with no way to print replacement parts if your main printer breaks down. Consider getting an Ender 5 for this purpose. Other necessary tools include a hacksaw to cut extrusions.

You can remove the bed mounts as they may interfere with the board housing. Where to Begin: * Once you download your parts, print them. * This is step 0 - print spares if you have to. * Once printed, order your extrusions. Note that you will have to trim them, so make sure you have a good hacksaw.
