Ender 3 - compact Hemera mount plate with BLTouch

Compact mount plate for mounting the Hemera Extruder to an Ender-3 carriage.

I initially mounted my Hemera Extruder using Joe Cashas mount plate, but found it a bit to wobbly because the motor part was placed to the right of the Ender mount plate and only fastened in three places. So I designed this instead. Tolerances are quite tight so your printer needs to be dialed in well.

Besides the stock parts, you need 4 M3x6 bolts and 4 M5 washers.

Instructions:

• Take apart the existing hotend and x carriage. Remove the three wheels from the carriage.
• Add the 3 M5 nylock bolts to the matching holes on the plate.
• Mount the Hemera to the plate using the M3x6 bolts
• Press the metal carriage into the two holes on the mount plate.
• Prepare the three bolts:
  Add two washers, a wheel and a metal spacer to each of the two bolts for the top wheels.
  Add the original washer, a wheel and the eccentric nut to the bolt for the bottom wheel.
• Hold the extruder and carriage up to the printer, and mount the 3 wheels to the carriage.
• Adjust the eccentric nut until the cariage does not wobble but moves freely.

• Attach BLTouch and fan. I use this fan duct.
