E3D Hemera mount for LulzBot Taz 6

This is a one-piece mount for using the E3D Hemera/Hermes on the LulzBot Taz 6. Its dimensions are based on the official E3D mount . You don't need the separate Taz 6 Universal Mount if you're using this mount. I also modified the blower fan mount so it could attach using socket-cap screws.

Printing

You will need to print the mount with ABS, PETG, or another high-temp material. Don't use PLA!

For best printing, use the included support and perimeter modifier files. If you're using PrusaSlicer:

- For your general print settings, select 0.25mm layer height, 3 perimeters, and 30% infill.

- Load the "Taz Hemera mount" part.

- Right-click the print settings, select Add Part > Load, select "Taz Hemera mount - support" part.

- Right click print settings again, select Add Modifier > Load, select "Taz Hemera mount - perim modifier" part. Right click the modifier's settings, select Add Settings > Layers and Perimeters, select Perimeters. Change this to 4.

If your slicer does not support modifiers, then increase the overall perimeters to 4 and infill to 50% or more.

The included support should work in all slicers. It is designed with a 0.25mm gap between the support and part.

Post-Print Cleanup

Use a 3.5mm drill bit (or similar) to clean the holes in the mount.

Required Parts

- M3x8 or M3x10 socket cap screws (qty 4) to attach the Hemera to the mount.

- M3x8 socket cap screws (qty 4) to attach the fan mount to the Hemera.

- M3x20 socket-cap screws for attaching the blower to the fan mount. Ideally use M3 heat-set inserts on the fan mount, however you may be able to get away without them.

- Cable harness (see E3D documentation).

Assembly

Follow the E3D Guide for the Taz 6 . You can skip the steps where they attach the Hermes and Universal Mount to each other.
