In this build log, instead of converting from Ender 5, I go on the adventure of building 300^3 Mercury One.1 from a lesser-known Chinese DIY corexy printer kit, which I bought on Taobao.

The printer in question : https://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a1z09.2.0.0.7d6c2e8dNHallo&id=698708994651&_u=e20g9mm7228de7
As you can already see, it has very similar kinematics to Mercury One.1, so I decided to convert it.
On Archetype toolhead:
Bambulab hotend clone & CHT nozzle
Sherpa Mini
BTT EBB36 Toolboard
PCB Klicky probe
Electronics:
MKS Gen L 1.0
RPi 4 4GB
For the motion system, I want to reuse as many components as possible. However, since the included components look pretty cheap, I will replace some of them with Mercury One BOM components.
Printed parts are going to be printed with the FusFun Odorless ABS.
While the belt path is pretty much the same, it is distinct in other ways.
The frame is more optimized for hiding motor and electronics in back compartment. Also, X axis has bottom rail instead of top rail or front rail.
