Ender 5 Plus Hemera Mount and Linear Rails

Last crawled date: 4 years, 2 months ago

All parts needed to modify an Ender 5 Plus to Direct Drive Hemera with linear rails.
The mount for the Hemera should be printed with a very strong plastic. I used carbon fiber PLA with 6 walls, 6 top and bottom layers and 20% infill. It will require supports. See PDF files for orientation and supports. By changing the drive system to linear rails new X and Y stops are needed. I used the old bowden tube to support the wiring going to the Hemera on the hotend and the rear of the printer.
Print one of all parts except for 2 - Y Axis Linear Rail Mount.stl. These should also be printed with carbon fiber or other very strong filament
