Ender 5 Plus Dual Extruder Setup

thingiverse

I have upgraded my Ender 5 Plus to a Dual Extruder setup with the Chimera 2in-2out hotend. I have had several requests for files/instructions, so here is my attempt at providing some guidance. Most of these parts are a modified version of something else, and sources for the originals are included. It is possible some minor tweaks were made after printing, and they wont be documented here. **Sources for Unmodified Parts:** 1. Spool Holder - [http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3178835] 2. BLTouch Mount - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439] I used the CR10/Tevo Tornado one. May have cut some off to fit with existing belt setup. 3. Full graphic Smart Display Mount(or TFT35) - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3842765] This part needs a hole cut out for SD card **Sources for Custom Parts:** 1. chimera_mount - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2947851] I modified the mount to fit with the existing belt mounting on the x-axis carriage. 2. chimera_dual_5015 - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439] I combined the dual 5015 fan Petsfang duct with the Chimera Petsfang duct in the previous link. 3. hotend_chain_mount - [https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4126931] Modified hotend mount to be fixed to printer with wheel nuts. Printed chain from other links included on this page. 4. extruder_mount made to replace existing extruder/runout sensor mount, or can just use for second one. **Full System Overview** * 600W Meanwell PSU * SKR PRO 1.1 Motherboard * TMC2208 Stepper drivers * Raspberry Pi 4 with Octopi * Dedicated 5v PSU for Pi and Neopixel LED strip lighting * Solid state relay for switching AC power to Meanwell supply * Bigtreetech tft35 display( in LCD sim mode since they wont release code for touchscreen menu editing) * Chimera dual hotend * Custom edited dual 5015 petsfang cooler and mount * x axis cable chain with edited chain-hotend mount ( original was just press fit) * marlin 2.0
