I love what you did ! I have myself an ongoing Mercuy ZeroG build (Ender 5 pro), looking for ways to enclose it and manage the electronics. Getting very good results at the moment with the core XY part. I havent documented anything yet but I will to share my knowledge regarding to the build and Klipper of course. Next steps are dual Z (Hydra costs too much for little gain) and enclosure. If you want to share dont hesitate contacting me. greetings .
Just a quick tip, you might need to check your blt touch offsets. Typically you want your probing to be in the center of the bed instead of the nozzle during the bed mesh. Other than that, it looks amazing
Looks really nice. I am attempting a conversion as well and wonder where I might find instructions on the bed solution as I am aiming to add a larger bed. :)
Hey! Good luck to you! Would you mind sharing what kind of an instruction or bed size are you talking about? Basically, there are two kind of beds for ZeroG at the moment: just an original one from Ender 5 [plus] or a kinematic tri-z Hydra project, as far as I know. Mine is just an original bed. I’ve added a dedicated nozzle probe on it later, but that’s it
Thank you! If you are talking about the parts on which the top hat is sitting - i printed them, but it’s way better to use the alu extrusion as is intended in the top hat project.
Yea I saw that setup but just want a top hat for now for Fume extraction, do you have the STEP files for those corner do-dad's ? I'm about to convert a Ender 5 + to a M1. Cheers
Sorry for the late response. It’s hard to translate your comment on my phone, but if I got it right: I’ve used an SKR2 as the main board. I’ve also left the original board to control additional fans, thermistors and lights. Raspberry Pi3 for the control board. That’s it basically. Are you also asking about where to get the guide on how to convert ender 5 to ZeroG? If so, check the official Discord server. There is a great community over there.
Have you found a solution to the cooling issue? I am doing a similar build and I’ll mainly be printing in PLA+ so I could use all the part cooling I can get
Hey! Last time I've printed PLA on this printer was on the video :) , so I wasn't pursuing the goal to improve my cooling hard. I've changed a cheap 12V 5051 fan to a 24V ball bearings GDSTIME one. It closes, like, 90% of my needs for now. I see two options to try: 1. 12V GDSTIME powered by 24V (Vez3D recommended that for his VzBot originally) 2. Switch to CPAP (implemented and tested by that same Vez3d ;) ). The second one is the ultimate solution.
@@ObsiVision-Labs actually, I've double-checked today and one.1 was significantly reworked since I built it. To the point I'll be reassembling mine with new parts.
@@agonsmith Hi. Thank you for sharing, I'm trying to build it. What do the hinges do? Their utility is not clear in the Step file. Can you please share pictures or a video?

Congratulations!! I'm considering the Mercury conversion myself for my Ender 5 Plus.
Thank you! It is a great upgrade for a not so spectacular e5 :) you won't regret it, I believe
Just a quick tip, you might need to check your blt touch offsets. Typically you want your probing to be in the center of the bed instead of the nozzle during the bed mesh. Other than that, it looks amazing
Thanks!!
I am having this issue in klipper, how would I fix the offset?

Any details on that top hat?
Also you mean the ZeroG discord right?
Would you share the link to the internal Zero G corner brackets? Thanks!
You mean red ones in the front? I’m not sure if I still have them, but I’ll take a look.
@@agonsmith Yes, if you don't mint sharing them. Thanks.
Nice setup, Where did you get those corner risers for the top hat ? buy or make and any STEP files available ?
Cheers

How did you enclose the printer? I haven't seen a mercury closed until I saw yours
Hey! I’ve made a top hat project: github.com/dragonsmith/zerog-top-hat
The rest was just an improvisation.
Here is what it looked last photos.app.goo.gl/pyknXGg2usT1SxJi9
Hello. What mother board you use? works on Fluid or mainsail? regards
Hey! I used Rpi 3b+ and skr v2. It’s probably not optimal to use skr v2 anymore unless you have it already. I used mainsail, yes.
No tienes la guía para convertir mi ender 5 plus, y como cambiaste la electrónica

@@agonsmith Awesome, I'll check it out. Thank you!
Congrats 🎉. Amazing work, I am purchasing the parts for this conversion as well. Did you use the ZeroG guide from the website? Mercury 1.0?
Thanks a lot! There was zero to none docs when I was assembling it. Also, I did ZeroG 1.1 when it was still in the early beta
@@agonsmith oh isee
@@ObsiVision-Labs actually, I've double-checked today and one.1 was significantly reworked since I built it. To the point I'll be reassembling mine with new parts.
@@agonsmith woooow
Looks amazing. Are you working on an enclosure?
Thank you. You can check my project here github.com/dragonsmith/zerog-top-hat
@@agonsmith Awesome. Thank you!
@@agonsmith This is just the top hat. Do you have the bottom as well? Thanks!
@@photosofnyc3868 unfortunately, I don’t. I did the bottom manually from what I had on hands.

Hi, which Board did you use in your build?
(Better later than never :))) )
I’ve had an SKR2. Plus I’ve left the original board too to control additional lights, fans and thermistors.
