I will save your first question for last.. 2. I never designed a backplate to fit this onto a Prusa MK3 but it would be a fun exercise. To get the extruder motor above the LM8UU bearings, you would need to raise the nozzle up by at least 10mm and I think it would help to switch the double bearings to the bottom so that you could make the top section more narrow. (yes, I already had a mockup of the MK3s toolhead in Blender ) 3. If you would like quick hotend swaps, the Bambu hotend is the only one that could be removed (by removing two screws from the side) without first removing the extruder. The rest of the compatible hotends are held on by screws from above or behind the core piece. 4. If you are looking for high flow on a budget, I have heard that the Dragon Ace hotend is pretty good. I have a CHC TD6S on my Trident and can print at up to 200mm/sec with it. The Bambu hotend is quite respectable as well as cost friendly and would allow you to remove/swap it quicker. The Mini Stealth cannot fit a V6 style hotend with the groove mount. That style is just too tall. 1. Most of the .stl files you would need are in the Sherpa Mini folder under the main Extruders folder. You would need to pick the core piece that fits your choice of hotend. The shroud would probably use a 3010 hotend fan under the probe_left or right folder you would use the first option unless you wanted to use a Knomi display on your toolhead. If you can fit the Pinda to the Prusa-style backplate then you could use a standard shroud You would need the motor bridge and PCB mount for the EBB36 as well as the cable door The Common Parts folder has the rest of the components you would need such as: the Pinda side mount bracket the blower air guide x2 and the gluing tool the status LED carrier and diffuser you can also use the white-only LEDs by Timmit if you don't have RGB control for the NeoPixel LEDs.2 points

I would advise against using 8-9 walls in an attempt to make the part as solid as possible. Even though you're 3D printing plastic... the same rule of uniform wall thickness in injection molded parts still applies as the more mass your part has the more it will want to warp/distort as it cools. 4 walls and 30% infill is plenty strong and will net you better parts.2 points

Glad to help and that there is an x-carriage version that will work for your printer! I wonder if I should (or even can) make versions for MGN12C and MGN9C linear carriages.. The wedge was a fun solution. It took a while of staring at the 3D model trying to imagine how to fit clamp blocks and screws before I figured it out. I have a paypal.me link and would greatly appreciate any support!2 points

It looks like it is still a front mounted MGN12 linear carriage so my x-frame set should work just as well if modified for the 9mm belts. I have added the 9mm belt geometry to the Beacon3D x-carriages (standard and UHF) so you can give it a try when you get your kit. x_carriage_frames_Beacon3D_MGN12_9mm_Belts.stl x_carriage_frames_Beacon3D_UHF_MGN12_9mm_Belts.stl2 points

Sorry this took a while. I made new hex-pattern .stl files for the Mini Stealth v2 and I found a video that should work for setting up a dual color pattern print in Bambu Studio. The first minute and a half won't apply since he is creating the inlay from a converted .svg file. Mini_Stealth_v2_Hex_Pattern.stl Mini_Stealth_v2_Hex_Pattern_UHF.stl2 points

Yeah, the Ruthex and CNC Kitchen inserts are smaller than the Voron standard inserts. That is the right direction to take in Blender. Unfortunately there is no simple way to specify an actual dimension. I will select the feature that I want to modify and temporarily copy it on an orthogonal axis to visually determine what size it currently is (I make all of the heat-set recesses 4.7mm in diameter). Ruthex suggests a 4.0mm hole for their inserts. So you would divide 4.0 by 4.7 to find an accurate ratio which calculates to 0.851. Printed holes usually end up undersized so your 0.9 ratio should be fine. I use Alt+click to select edge loops, or your Ctrl+click method, but I prefer to work in vertex mode (pro tip: 1, 2 and 3 quickly changes between vertex, edge and face select modes). With only those vertices selected you go to Mesh > Snap > Cursor to Selected. Then you need to change your Transform Pivot Point to 3D Cursor (in this situation, Bounding Box would work as well). Then you can select all of the vertices/faces that need to be scaled and use the Shift+Z option. In my working file I do not triangulate the faces so I am able to use Alt+click in face select mode to quickly select the whole ring of faces. If you select everything, then under the delete menu you can select Limited Dissolve with a Max Angle of 0.1 to make the mesh easier to work with but not loose any geometry. When you export the .stl, Blender will triangulate all of the faces again.1 point

That's great, thanks. I printed this out but found that the heatset inserts don't match what I have are a bit too small. I've downloaded Blender to try and sort this out - is it correct to use edit mode -> edge select -> hold down ctrl to pick shortest path around the circle -> press s -> press shift+z to lock z -> type in the ratio (I used 0.9)? Is there a way to change the diameter specifically rather than as a ratio? Thanks1 point

I've printed the new cores today, will test it out Edit - Could you provide me with the coordinate of the four holes on the back of the new core please? I tried converting it to a part in FreeCAD but I can't seem to get good coordinates of the holes as the mesh cannot be easily simplified by the program.1 point

Cool stuff! One problem is that the ProosaXY runs two belts vertically in the Core XY setup where the Prusa just uses a single horizontal belt for the X axis. This would still be a great start for making a standard Prusa backplate. The other thing that I noticed is that there isn't much room for some hotends. I will see if I can find some time to tinker with this design and hopefully make something that would fit more extruder/hotend combinations. Edit: Stay tuned.. I think I will be making a second set of all the core pieces that will replace the need for the orange spacer above and add a lot of rigidity to the toolhead. This should help with StealthChanger compatibility as well.1 point

I ended up using a Delta fan, AFB0612EH. I run it at about 45% and there's no ABS fumes whatsoever. My duct is kind of long and has 3 bends in it, once I stop procrastinating and shorten it, I probably will be able to lower the fan speed by 5 or 10%. My chamber temps are around 47-48C with this thing on. Great mod, thank you!1 point

Is it a single MGN9 rail or is the older style double MGN9 setup? If it is a single rail, it might not be too hard for me to modify the MGN12 holes to fit an MGN9 (C or H?) linear carriage. I think the older double MGN9 would require designing a new x-carriage from scratch and I'm a little short on time currently.1 point

For the EBB36 you will need the Motor Bridge and the PCB mount. The M3 screws go through planetary gear cover and the stepper motor then thread into the motor bridge which fits two M3 heat-inserts for securing the PCB and mount from behind. The hole you can see in the PCB mount is for connecting the cable door with another M3 screw. You can also see the blue reverse-bowden press-fitting that makes it easier to slide the PTFE tube in and out since the shroud gets in the way of accessing the standard Orbiter fitting.1 point

you sir are a gentleman and a scholar. thank you very much. the attached step file is only for those that wish to incorporate it in their drawings for easier constraints when doing the assembly. for the bl touch, i assumed that it mounted there. do you think the shroud would still fit with the orbiter if it was printed mirrored? also for the carriage, from what i have seen of the switchwire style carriages is that the belt mounting is different. i only have a single belt so ill just make my own. however i may convert this to switchwire style in the near future. and you are correct, the gantry has been retrofitted with the same parts as the ender to accommodate a belt driven dual z axis. im very excited about the work you have done here, the dragonburner has too much plastic and parts in my opinion, and maintenance seems way easier on yours. truly a work of art.1 point

Sorry about the lack of a .step file. It is all raw mesh-editing in Blender for me.. This BL Touch mount fits onto the Diff IR shroud with a pair of M2.5x6 flathead screws. I looked up the Alfawise U20 and the gantry looks similar enough to the Ender 3 that you might be able to use the MGN9 Switchwire style x-carriage I have recently added to the repo. It stays pretty close to the 2020 extrusion and assumes that the back of the MGN9 rail is mounted 4.5mm from the front of the extrusion. There is more information about these x-carriages in this comment thread but the GitHub files are more current. There is already a core for the Orbiter 2.0 with the Dragon hotend but thanks for the offer!1 point

It has been a few months, but I have worked up a new x-frame set for the Ender 3 with a front facing MGN12H linear rail/carriage. This is derived from a Switchwire x-carriage and uses two M3x40 SHCS and nuts to connect the two halves together. There is a toothed wedge that fits in from below and clamps both belt ends in place. It requires four M3x10 BHCS to secure the assembled x-carriage to the MGN12H linear carriage. Two M3x45 BHCS secure the Mini Stealth core to the x-carriage but they require 1.5mm of shim washers on each screw to avoid hitting the MGN12H linear carriage when installing. When installed, the nozzle sits 9.3mm lower than with a stock Ender 3 setup and 20.7mm further forward. EDIT: The original x-frame left/right pieces extended slightly behind the 2020 gantry extrusion and would foul on the plates that hold the V-wheels for Z axis travel. The new pieces should have enough clearance. EDIT 2: This fits on an MGN12H linear carriage and not on the shorter MGN12C as stated before. I am working on applying this design to a front mounted MGN9H linear carriage and then I will design x-carriages for MGN9H and MGN12H top mounted linear rail setups.
