Description

This is targeted at Ender3 series of printers and similar style, if using a different backplate than stock ender3/3pro/3v2, you can get those aftermarket, but I would then simply recommend you install a linear rails instead anyway, a much superior setup than stock wheel for not much more.

Dual 4010 fan setup, with 4020 or 4010 front hotend fan (included spacer)
 

Included Instruction are for the ApolloLander, but they share mostly everything besides part cooling fan size. 

The ApolloMini rail version mounts directly to an MGN12H linear rail block, no backplate or adapter needed, I provide a printable belt holder (you can keep using the stock belt), and relocated X endstop with printed X motor cover.

If for some reason you don't want a front mounted rail setup, I already created a top mounted printable block system compatible with the ApolloMini, but I personally use the front mounted rail setup (with full size ApolloLander)

No print support needed, the backplate is the core of the shroud and should be printed with more walls/top/bottom layers and more infill (I like 5/5/5 30%, but you can do whatever you feel like). the rest can be more casual strength.

PRINT IN PETG OR BETTER
PLA can be used as a temporary setup and won't fail instantly (unless in an enclosed printer), usually PLA fails for top mounted hotend screws, and linear rail setup screws after multiple hours of printing.

Currently available here:

  • Phaetus - Dragonfly BMS
  • Phaetus - Rapido (HF only, not UHF)
  • Phaetus - Taichi (Bowden or dual direct drive: dual orbiter2 or dual sherpa mini)
  • Phaetus - Dragon ST - Dragon HF
  • TriangleLabs? TZ-E3
  • E3D - V6 - Revo6
  • Creality - Spider v3 Pro (wheel and rails are very different so each have it's own zip)

By request with a short few days turnaround:

  • Phaetus - Conch
  • Phaetus - BMO
  • Phaetus - neXt G
  • Phaetus - XG
  • Phaetus - Dragon UHF (in HF configuration)
  • BambuLab X1/P1P hotend
  • Creality MK8 (aka stock ender3 hotend)
  • E3D - RevoVoron
  • Creality K1C

You can request other hotend, but the turnaround can be a little longer. Also keep in mind some hotend that have dragon or rapido form factor may simply work with the existing models they generally have the same height, feel free to ask if you want me to check fit in CAD 

Extruder compatibility:

  • Bowden Adpater — use Sherpa Mini or Orbiter 2.0 backplate
  • Orbiter 1.5
  • Orbiter 2.0
  • Sherpa Mini
  • Sherpa Micro
  • APUS 2.0 — use Sherpa Mini Backplate
  • LXG lite — use Sherpa Mini Backplate
  • HGT Extruder — use Sherpa Mini Backplate
  • Mellow Cannon — use Sherpa Mini Backplate

I used to support the BMG in direct drive, but I'm now dropping support as there are some incompatibility issues with some hotends, and you can use the guts of the BMG to convert it into a sherpa mini or micro, with the addition of a nema14 motor.

Probe compatibility:

  • Bltouch
  • CRtouch
  • Beacon Scanner
  • Cartographer3D
  • Inductive/Capacitive Probes M12 and M18 (can do M8 by request)

If you have any issue don't hesitate to contact me, as I have not tested those on the ApolloMini.

 

I had to include an STL, but all the files are zipped. one specific for each hotend, a zip with ducts, and the rest are common accessories each in individual zip

The rail version of the backplate, has a simple 20x20 rear mounting pattern (matching the MGN12H block), so that gives you the freedom to adapt it to other printers and setup, you just have to figure out a way to handle the belt.

 

I included a zip with 3d renders, some of those are outdated, but some might still be useful, so leaving it in here as is for now.
