I followed the project for so long so I finally decided to build one.
Last month I bought a used Ender 5 Pro with the idea to transform it to Mercury One.1
I sourced most of the parts at local shops and only few was ordered from Aliexpress - belt, idlers, t-nuts and heated inserts.

In this build log I'll attach pictures, configurations and few issues that I currently facing and I hope some of you guys will manage to help.

What I'm using as hardware:

  • LGX Lite Extruder
  • Phaetus Rapido HF Hotend
  • BTT Octopus Pro

This is a printer at stock form 😄

I removed all parts and started from scratch - ensuring that the frame is square as possible. Then I attached the linear rails with the printed helpers for squaring as well as stepper towers at the back.

EVA 2.4 toolhead and belts was mounted as well as electronics section. At this point I was ready for first tests.

As side note: NOCTUA fans are not good for cooling the hotend. I switched with SUNON which was way better.

The printer is DONE and moving 🙂 At the back you can see one more Mercury One.1 candidate which printed all the parts with ASA.
Also I made a new display cable (1m long) because it will be separate from the printer.

Whats come next:

  • Fine tune the input shaper resonances and pressure advance settings.
  • Klicky probe which I still need to fine tune.
  • Hydra for sure, this stock bed is not reliable at all.

Yeah.. it was a 30 minutes project 😄
Jokes aside ... All of this happen last week for about 15-20 hours of work. Most of the time was for electronics...

Where did you find the mounts that lower the linear rails? I didn't print them before i tore apart my printer 😦

#

assembled everything and was well dam lol

acoustic sluice
#

@near crater for which mounts exactly you are talkin about?

#

If you mean these, they are in the docs configurator.

near crater
#

Yeah. Dam I must have missed them.

acoustic sluice
#

Yes they are on Mercury Configurator not EVA and the files are called:
Z_DropBracket_5Pro_1.stl
Z_DropBracket_5Pro_2.stl

#

Basically they are the same, one is for the left, and the other is for the right side

Hi! I’m trying to print parts with abs on my ender 5 pro,but they’re warping always,could you recommend something? How did you printed your parts?

acoustic sluice
#

Hello! Sry for late response, I used a glue specially created for ABS/ASA and it did well with zero warping
