<h1>Mod of the Hero Me Gen 5 for the Ender 5 Plus with the Micro Swiss Drive.</h1> <p>Only the base has been customized to the Ender 5 Plus Micro Swiss Drive. the 2 ducts are the original ducts from the Hero Me Gen 5 suite</p> <H2>Main design features:</H2> - Only works with 4010 fans - Works great with a 360x360 print area. - No clash with the front bar - No clash with the corners (plastic brackets) - No clash with the vertical guide holders - No vibration in the X bar - No offset of the Nozzle - Y distance between Nozzle and BL Touch increased by 2.5mm approx (to be controlled after print with a caliper) - X distance between Nozzle and BL Touch unchanged - Original BL-Touch support bracket re-used - Proper clearance between the hot-end and the base <H2>MTO:</H2> <p>You only need to print these 3 parts (the base and the 2 ducts). No additional part from the original HeroMe Gen 5 package is required.</p> <p>Additional (not printed) parts needed to install this cooling system:</p> - 1x 4010 fan 24v (identical to the original one) - 4x M3 nuts - 1x M3 8mm - 1x M3 8mm flat head - 2x M2 12mm <p>Everything else you'll need is reused from original parts removed for the installation.</p> <H2>Install Tips:</H2> - Depending of the 4010 fan design you've got, you may have to rework after printing the ducts the area where the fan sits. - Preferred installation sequence: 1. Install the direct drive and hot-end first, 2. The base + BL-Touch bracket with 3 screws: Top bracket hole and the 2 holes on the right. Use the flat head screw for the bottom right hole. Note that the 4 nuts must be pre-positioned before installing the base 3. install the ducts: using lowest base holes and the highest duct position works great for me 4. Rotate the BL touch bracket to install the BL-Touch. the BL-Touch connector must be positioned outside. 5. Put the bracket back in position and install the last (4th) screw on the base to fix the bracket position - during this operation you may have to push slightly down the belt end 6. Install the fans. use only one screw for the duct fans
