Beacon3D Support Comes to Hero Me GEN7
Added 2023-04-09 00:29:06 +0000 UTCThe HMG7.3 Beacon3D mounts support both the normal and low profile versions of the Beacon3D sensor. Note that this sensor requires Klipper.
The Bottom of the sensor plate needs to be between 2mm-2.6mm above the nozzle when the nozzle is touching the bed. So, with different sized (heights) hotends, the stand-off mount needs to be adjustable.
The five mount STLs give you default spacing from 17mm to 21mm below the Skirt mount points.
With the addition of the four spacers (5, 10, 15, & 20mm), you have a 17mm to 41mm adjustment range in 1mm increments (or more if you stack the stand-offs). You could also set a custom height of a spacer in your slicer software..
The X/Y ABL offsets are X = 0mm, Y = 30.6mm.
If you want to be on the forefront of 3D Printer bed leveling, then consider the Beacon.

Thanks, I think that will work!

2023-05-11 23:05:28 +0000 UTCSorry, bad copy/paste. Here is what I meant to respond with: Ok, depending on your ADXL345 and version of Beacon3D it may be a slim possibility to stack them out front. There is another way, add a spacer mount between the Hotend mount and the direct drive mount, I have just modified the 6mm spacer to have the same 14mm mount points as the Skirt. The Beacon3D is mounted to the Skirt mount and the ADXL345 gets mounted up in front above the heat sink fan. Here is a DropBox link to the STL and a rendered image of the mount adapters. https://www.dropbox.com/s/1qxl7clk5aaadww/Beacon3D-ADXL345.zip?dl=0

2023-05-11 22:42:25 +0000 UTCI meant as far as I can tell you can't stack the ADXL345 and Beacon3D...

2023-05-11 22:21:57 +0000 UTCI can make a vertical version.

2023-05-11 22:15:58 +0000 UTCI double checked, I really don't think you can stack these 2 sensors on the skirt with current mounts available.

2023-05-11 03:35:33 +0000 UTCany luck with your investigation into stacking these two devices?

2023-05-09 17:01:48 +0000 UTCThanks, I appreciate it!
Joncherba
2023-04-21 17:14:22 +0000 UTCI will investigate this evening

2023-04-21 17:12:28 +0000 UTCI have the normal Beacon3D where the cable comes off the board at 90° to the board.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 16:25:51 +0000 UTCI don't see a way to stack the ADXL345 and Beacon3D sensors with current mount selections. Not that clears cabling.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 16:21:29 +0000 UTCI only saw a horizontal mount for the 14.4mm ADXL345 mount.

2023-04-21 16:20:23 +0000 UTCThat sounds about right from what I measured from the STL's, it was just difficult due to how they came into my software. Thanks for the info!

2023-04-21 13:55:07 +0000 UTCWhat dimensions do you use for the threaded insert holes cause they are perfect.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 13:34:45 +0000 UTCI purchased the 100 count threaded inserts you suggest. They are too small to use to add threads to the fans mounting holes...currently I have a long bolt with a nut on the end. I doubt that will last too long with all the vibrations it will see.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 13:04:32 +0000 UTCWow, I feel kinda dumb. I assumed that was the height it would be off the mount...ooops, I better get to printing the correct one. Lol. Thanks for the clarification.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 13:00:46 +0000 UTCYes, add the threaded inserts into the fan’s own mount holes this way you can use very short screws. The ADXL mounts are named for the center to center distance of the teo mount holes on the PCB.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-21 12:55:36 +0000 UTCI think I have pretty much figured out the rest. I almost added threaded inserts to the fan mounts for the 5015 parts cooling ducts.
Joncherba
2023-04-21 12:52:29 +0000 UTCHow do I know which mount to use for it?
Joncherba
2023-04-21 12:51:33 +0000 UTCThat I believe is one of the first that I made a mount for. I believe there is both a horizontal and vertical version.
Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-21 12:49:36 +0000 UTCThat is the ADXL345 that I purchased, not sure if you have a mount for it. I'm pretty sure I could make one work.

2023-04-21 12:17:43 +0000 UTCDepending on which ADXL345 you have, they can be ‘stacked’. First the Beacon3D and then the accelerometer. You will need longer screws.

Andrew Soderberg
2023-04-18 15:18:44 +0000 UTCcan you mount the ADXL345 at the same time as the Beacon3D sensor? I'm looking to run both but it looks like thats not possible with the options I'm seeing. I'm currently printing the Beacon3D mounts in transparent blue PETG, this is going to look really neat. I'm excited for the Ender 3 V2 upgrades!
