For those not on discord I realized that I haven't really posted the list of updates done to the Apollo lately. And even for those on discord, the incremental tweaks may have gotten lost in the thr...

Courtesy of George aka GxG on discord, he enjoyed the community on discord associated with my patreon so much that he is pre-releasing this design here. 2023-06-07 04:11:16 +0000 UTC View Post

This was a request, I don't have those in hand, they seem very handy as an interface between the printer board and the printer
This also could be use to cram in regular connector...

Make sure you have a good clean surface and perfect mesh before printing, as the first layer is intricate.

First of all thank you for your support, without it most of these project would remain in their infancy and limited to my printer setup, some project would not even exist.

The Nozzle cam PCB can now conformably be installed behind the left fan.
This will be Rev7 of the main body (I'm exporting each hotend model for it, but should be done in a couple days)

Rev 2 mostly just makes it easier to install the inner sled (especially the printed ones which have tighter tolerance). No need to replace it with rev1 if you have it installed.
Also added a...
This is now fully usable, and a few tweaks, now support for both heat inserts (4.6 and 5mm OD) increased the screen hold depth by 1mm so should be more flush

New probe with ultrafast mesh, and no contact. There was interest, took the gamble of buying it, not knowing if it would work with this setup or not. But it did!

This is an early test to make sure all fits.
I don't have a stock wheel setup anymore, so I can't test it.
Most important is making sure the endstop is far out enough for Apo...

This actually took many tries to get it solid, but that one has held up over time, print orientation was key

I will see if I can make a new X motor mount for wheel setup that can accommodate the same thing
Finally finished it. (and thanks to KtotheStank for testing it)

edit: thanks to Sethro_ who contacted bambulab we have the following info "Resistance is 100kΩ@25℃(±1%) and B-value is 3950K@25/50℃(±1%)"
update:
the backtrace didn't fit (would hit the frame), so reworked it, kept the overall length the same as when installed without a brace, so should fit perfectly now.
