This adapter kit is a work in progress.
V2.8 A.I.O. Mount Description: This updated all-in-one solution for mounting fixes many problems I was having with V2.2. Some of these problems include unreliability, poor fitment, not being able to use other mods on the X-axis and, poor wiring. This design fixes all these issues, but requires the use of spacers. Overall, I like this design a lot more. It integrates everything into the toolhead nicely, and has much less play than the V2.2 design.
V2.8 A.I.O. Mount Printing Instructions: To print this design properly, I recommend printing it with The “arms” on the build plate, and Organic supports. I also recommend using 3-4 walls (or perimeters), as it helps with strength. I used Elegoo blue rapid PLA+ at temps of 210C on the nozzle, and 55-60C on the bed.
V2.8 A.I.O. Mount Installation: To install this mount, first you must mount the 3D chameleon switch. You do this by using 2 of the black M3 Screws that the 3D chameleon includes. First, thread the holes on the right of the PTFE adapter, by pushing firmly in the hole with the screw, and turning until you feel it starting to thread. Then turn it all the way through, and back it out. Next, you will need to thread the spacers. This is done by holding them with needle nose pliers, and screwing through them, then backing the screw out. This will take some time. Next, slide the switch on your M3 Bolts, and thread the spacers on after it. You should use 1 spacer on each side, if you have a design like tocha_ico's X-Axis purge bucket mount, or 2 spacers on each side for anyone without extra protrusion on the X axis. You will have to use longer bolts if you use 2 spacers. Next, screw the bolts into the mount, with the switch cable pointing upwards, and the switch sandwiched in-between the 2 screw holes, facing outwards. After you have that mounted, screw in the blue PTFE adapters included in the 3D chameleon kit (you may want to superglue it in, to prevent it from falling out at some point, although that has not been an issue for me). Next, unscrew the original silver bolts from the hot end, and DO NOT REMOVE THE HOTEND COVER. Next, slide the bolts through the square holes in the adapter, and fenagle it until the adapter fits over the hole, and the switch is properly positioned. Then (this is the tricky part) screw the bolts into the hotend cover's holes. You may need to push pretty hard for the screw to start threading.
V2.2/Switch Mount Description: This adapter is a 2 piece design, which works pretty well. It uses a separate switch mount and PTFE tube adapter, with the switch mounted on the X-axis. The PTFE adapter is designed to contact the switch. With this adapter, you don't need any other prints, except the parts in this file.
V2.2/Switch Mount Printing instructions: To properly print the PTFE adapter, you should use supports on build plate only, with the PTFE adapter's ‘legs’ contacting the build plate. To print the switch mount, I had the hole facing on the top, vertically, however, I do not believe orientation matters much. I was using Elegoo black PLA, at temps of 55c on the build plate, and 210c on the nozzle.
V2.2/Switch Mount Installation: To install the PTFE adapter, first remove the 2 screws securing the extruder cover. Next, find one of the long, M3 screws included in the 3D chameleon spare screw bag, set the piece on the hot end, with the hole over the threaded insert that accepts filament, and the piece that wraps around the switch facing forwards. Finally, screw the original screw in the left side of the cover, through the arm, and the longer M3 screw through the right. To install the switch mount, simply unscrew the nut on the belt tensioner, then slide the piece over the screw protruding first, then kind of jiggle it until it slides into place. After this, reinstall the nut, and screw in your switch with 2 of the 3D chameleon's included screws.
