This is a completely new version (bulit from scratch) of my remix: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4687258 . The shape is taken from https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3536419 .
The chimera mount is designed to be fitted on Ender 5. The issues with belt clip have been taken care of. There is a modular ABL mount (currently only for Bltouch, but it isn't hard to make one).
If you own a chimera clone (with back screws) like I do, just go to your local hardware store and buy a 2.5mm drill bit, and a M3 thread tap (they are really cheap). Then convert your cheap chinese chimera clone to Chimera+ with side screws ;)
The main advantages are:
-able to have 4020 fan mounted in the front, without crashing into the frame
-there is no reduction of travel movement on X axis, since the X carriage is larger than the footprint of the desing with blowers.
-You can mount the original 3010 fan inside the mount, should you not have 4010 or 4020 fan.
-The airflow for heatsink is focused on the heatsink, and has been studied with CFD to provide evidence, that the airflow over the heatsink (4010 fan) is sufficient.
-Dual 5015 blower fan design to provide excellent cooling on the nozzle, moreover this enables you to have differential nozzle cooling, which comes in handy to prevent oozing from the resting nozzle.
For ABL offset look at the pictures (note: Z and Y axes have been changed, so use the Z distance (dZ) as Y offset, and ignore the Y distance(dY), as you have to do the standard procedure and calibrate the height of bltouch mount)...
And look at the installation instructions bellow!
all original Solidworks files are available upon inquiry.
