Since I couldn't find a mount that suited my needs to upgrade the extruder on my Artillery3D Genius Pro to an E3D Hemera, I decided to make my own. This set of parts will accommodate a Hemera extruder onto the original carriage of the printer while keeping the nozzle position pretty much the same as the original extruder. They also allow for the Hemera to be mounted using either Revo or Volcano hotends, with either the "original" or the newer XS version (I believe the V6 hotend should also work, but I did not check the dimensions for it). My priner has the "E.Breakout V2.1" extruder board
These part should also work on Sidewinder X2 since it's pretty much the same extruder on a bigger printer. I belive it should also fit older Sidewinder X1/Genius but it's a matter of whether the extruder board fit, minus the factory Z probe on the extruder . I know previous versions of the extrude board are taller/longer and it may reach lower than the nozzle depending on which hotend you have. I've got no idea if these would work on the Hornet
I attempted to reuse most of the screws from the original extruder, but you'll still need a few additional ones, as well as the Hemera fixing kit supplied by E3D. Additionally, to save space and due to a shortage of fasteners on my end, you'll need to create some M3 threads directly into the "Board Mount v29" (Refer to the images for thread indication, along with screw length specifications).
The X and Y offsets of Artillery's factory Z Probe (ABL Probe) changed quite a bit, so you'll need to adjust that in the firmware as well (recompile the firmware or use an EEPROM editor -> X offset = 26mm / Y offset = -42.8mm). In my case, the Z offset is -1.15mm, but it may vary from one printer to another
General Assembly Instructions:
(1) Attach the Hemera Mount the the Hemera extruder. Pay attention the holes position based on the stepper and hotend configuration you have
(2) Fasten the Board Mount with the specified screws onto the Hemera's stepper
(3) Make all the required components connections to the extruder board and mount the Z probe with the same screws, then fasten the board itself to the Board Mount with the factory screws as well
(4) Assemble the extruder onto the printer carriage. This is the tricky part as the lower screw on the carriage is hard to access. Use an long Allen key and be careful with the connections on the extruder board. Alternatively, you can invert steps (3) & (4) but I found it harder to make the connections once attached to the carriage
(5) Finally, connect and mount the layer fan with the pre-assembled Layer Duct for your hotend configuration. You will need x3 M3x16 screw for this. I used DIN912 screws and reused some other from the original extruder
