Okay, so back story. I have a cr10 mini. Highly modified, btt skr mini e3 v3 motherboard, all in one mod, octopi setup, microswiss NG direct drive, and some other mods I have yet to leak...
Now, I have had my chameleon for about a month and have not been able to get anything set up yet or working to my liking.
I attempted to mount the Y pipe and run a Bowden tube to the extruder, but the length of tubing was too much to deal with when it backed out. I also wasn't a fan of the tip shaping as it was slow and tedious, so I found myself again on amazon getting a servo (and later all the other upgrades for that too). Eventually....
I found somebody created a mount in here for the microswiss NG direct drive already. It was a great starting point but I again ran into issues.
Their design utilized some random metal bracket and I am not sure where they even attached that. Or where they got it. Or how to recreate it.
Formerly I had a btt SFS runout sensor with a nifty bracket and long story short, 2 weeks of modelling and test printing later I finally have something solid. Side note, I know how to use sketchup2017 and that's about it. Tinkercad I feel like a fish trying to peel a banana... Anyhoo
*I have not finalized my design just yet but the prototype is installed and I am successfully loading amd unloading filaments (by hand operating the chameleon, I still have no clue on this coding lol, but maybe in another month)
So at this moment a teaser and hopefully in a day or two I will have the files online, and once I get the G-Code set I'll add that too. I also filmed an install video, which will go live shortly after.
All you need is 4 of the larger Bowden connectors from the chameleon box, 2x m3x16 screw and 3x m3x12 screws.
Oh, and I designed a servo horn also as I had yet to find one that worked adequately with the autoclippy. That will be in the folder as well.
But for now... Behold!
This is solid on the extruder and provides consistent loading and unloading! One small step for this fish and his banana!
