New Product Release - Precision Piezo Orion

Hi, there are any news on the chimera mount?
-
@hevilp Chimera mount is out with beta testers at the moment but I haven't heard back from them yet.

Oooh, I've been looking for a better way to mount my Chimera, please keep us updated
-
I've just uploaded the prototype Chimera/Cyclops+ mount, I'd welcome your feedback if you try it out.

@moriquendi I'll have to wait for the couplings to arrive in the week (just ordered), so will let you know how it goes, thanks!
-
How do I mount it? Which X-carriage is neccessary? Can you show a picture?
I have a HEVO and there are a lot of hotend carriages...Which is compatible with the chimera orion mount?
-
@hevilp I couldn't find anything for a Hevo when I looked, so am working on something. Parts are printing currently so I'll let you know when I've had a chance to test.
-
I don't know of any carriage for the HEVO that is directly compatible with the chimera mount. It's not possible for me to develop integrated mounts/carriages for every kind of printer and hotend combination. I try to develop parts that can be easily adapted to specific printers.

@hevilp As I said, I'm still printing this, so completely untested - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3046312
-
@keyz182 I got the chimera+ , you got the chimera "old" or?
And I got the aqua cooled... Will be a lot of work, like it seems -
@hevilp I have Chimera+. I believe the mounting points are the same in aqua and air, so you may be able to use this.
-
Nice, which x carriage you are using?
I bought 2 weeks ago the normal piezo20 v1.1.
Can I use it or I realy need the Orion?
How Do you mount the coolside on your thing? I do not see any screws from the back of the coolside to the carriage.
-
@hevilp if you don't have an Orion, this works - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2801604
I'm using the standard X carriage, so the one I designed is designed for that.
-
I got this and it works like the last one you posted.

It does not work for me and I cannot realy find a solution.
I think the problem is, that the pressure is 90 degrees to the nozzle and not direct on it....
Again, How would I mount the aqua coolside to your mount? Where do the screws go?
-
@hevilp do you have 8mm or 10mm X axis rods? I found that there was just enough rotational flex in the Y/Z plane with the two 8mm rods such that if the piezo tension and adjustment pot aren't perfect, it just twists. It does work with a lot of trial and error though. I have a pair of 10mm rods to upgrade to at some point. The above though is why I wanted to change to using the Orion in a vertical orientation - any time I made any adjustments, I had to recalibrate it all. I suspect that 10mm rods will fix that too though.
-
I got 10 mm rods. I think with a normal v6 hotend it will work, but I did a lot of trial and error and it is getting more worse...
I will buy the Orion and use your mount. It should perfect my usercase, as it like yours.
Thanks but can you answer my question with the mount of the coolside
-
@hevilp I only designed the mount today, and have still not tested it. I don't know how the aqua differs from the air, so not sure how or if it will mount. I do remember reading that the mounting holes on the cooling block are in the same place though. I can put up the CAD files up on thingiverse so you can tweak if you need to.
-
But where do the screws go?
I just ordered the Orion kit and hope your mount will work and yes, of course I will tweak if its needed.
-
@hevilp It screws into the part that @Moriquendi linked.
-
I think you mean the screws on the top of the heatsink?
The aquacoolside got only 4 screws wholes on the back, so I'm need to mount it in anyway in the back. There are no screw wholes on the top.
And, I got the water tubes, I think they will not go through the Orion..
