Anycubic Chiron - Direct Drive Installation plate

Last crawled date: 5 years, 10 months ago

I always got big problems with stringing on the Chiron. With "direct drive" these problems are gone.
Important: You also can use the standard hotendhousing.
Retractionsettings compared to each other:
Before: (still much stringing)
retraction - distance: 9
retraction - speed: 55
After the update:(no stringing)
retraction - distance: 4
retraction - speed: 35
The Installation (maybe not exact):
disassamble the hotendhousing.
buy a longer or extend the extrudermotor cable
place the cable in the cable duct (hotend, fan)
install the plate between the hotendhousing and frame
install the extruder motor and extruderbase on the new plate
shorten the bowdenpipe to the needed length of the extruder
assamble the extruder
--> you are now ready to print with the "direct drive" -> don't forget to update the retraction settings if needed
To handle the extruder and motor position you also have to change the direction of the cableduct. I used these: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3656382
