!!! NOTE !!!
These parts are NOT to be resold or used in printers that will be sold commercially. If you want to use this mod for commercial purposes (i.e. selling printers, not printing commercially), please contact me so we can work out a deal.
Given how much time was spent creating this mod, please consider sending me a tip (Button in my profile page). Your generosity is appreciated and will lead to further improvements of the ProMega from 3rd party sources.
This is a total replacement of the ProMega XY Motion System with a carriage that can mount an E3D Hemera Extruder. There is a Bill of Materials attached for all the off the shelf parts that are needed for it.
An assembly instruction document is currently being made and will be uploaded when it's ready.
For me, this mod, together with the Optical Z Endstop, the Adjustuable Z Sliders and the 1/4" custom cut mirror, turned my ProMega into a reliable printer that I originally thought I had bought.
Note, there are now two versions of the Front Idler Holders. The 3.5mm version for 3mm deep magnets and the 5.5mm version for the stock 5mm magnets. If you want to use the stock magnets, please make sure you print the 5.5mm version!
Added an Inland PETG profile for Simplify3D as a starting point for people to work from.
Bill of Materials Change Log:
2020-01-12:
Changed:
4 x M3 x 20mm counter sunk Phillips
To:
4 x M3 x 18mm counter sunk Phillips
Those are the screws that go through the side bracket into the bottom of the gantry idler holders.
STL Change Log:
2020-01-20:Stepper Slide Plate: Now has 5mm radius at the corners to reduce chance of print lifting off the bedHemera Wide Fan Duct: Has now 5mm more clearance from the heat block, left, right and back.
2020-01-12:Hemera Carriage: Mounting Holes for the Hemera have been moved down a bitLeft Back Idler Cover: Mounting Holes for X Endstop give a bit longer adjustment range and a bit more clearance for idlersLeft Gantry Idler Holder Bottom: Made some screw holes deeperLeft Stepper Angle: Now has 6 Holes where we mount it to the back wall since CAD model and production unit had different measurementsLeft Stepper Plate: Hole for 20 tooth idler now goes all the way throughRight Back Idler Cover: A bit more clearance for idlersRight Gantry Idler Holder Bottom: Made some screw holes deeperRight Stepper Angle: Now has 6 Holes where we mount it to the back wall since CAD model and production unit had different measurementsRight Stepper Plate: Hole for 20 tooth idler now goes all the way throughSide Bracket: Y Endstop Fin can now be adjusted a bit further
