E3D Hemera mount for LulzBot Taz 6

Last crawled date: 4 years, 3 months ago

This is a one-piece mount for using the E3D Hemera/Hermes on the LulzBot Taz 6. Its dimensions are based on the official E3D mount. You don't need the separate Taz 6 Universal Mount if you're using this mount. I also modified the blower fan mount so it could attach using socket-cap screws.
Printing
You will need to print the mount with ABS, PETG, or another high-temp material. Don't use PLA!
For best printing, use the included support and perimeter modifier files. If you're using PrusaSlicer:

For your general print settings, select 0.25mm layer height, 3 perimeters, and 30% infill.


Load the "Taz Hemera mount" part.


Right-click the print settings, select Add Part > Load, select "Taz Hemera mount - support" part.

Right click print settings again, select Add Modifier > Load, select "Taz Hemera mount - perim modifier" part. Right click the modifier's settings, select Add Settings > Layers and Perimeters, select Perimeters. Change this to 4.
If your slicer does not support modifiers, then increase the overall perimeters to 4 and infill to 50% or more. The included support should work in all slicers.
Post-Print Cleanup
Use a 3.5mm drill bit (or similar) to clean the holes in the mount.
Required Parts

M3x8 or M3x10 socket cap screws (qty 4) to attach the Hemera to the mount.


M3x8 socket cap screws (qty 4) to attach the fan mount to the Hemera.


M3x20 socket-cap screws for attaching the blower to the fan mount. Ideally use M3 heat-set inserts on the fan mount, however you may be able to get away without them.

Cable harness (see E3D documentation).
Assembly
Follow the E3D Guide for the Taz 6. You can skip the steps where they attach the Hermes and Universal Mount to each other.
