FLSUN QQS-Pro One Piece Extruder Mount for Sherpa Mini (Remix)

Description

EDIT: I have been told the stls are scaled incorrectly. You should be able to print the right size by scaling down 10 times in your slicer. This is a remix of the original Mini Sherpa mount for FLSUN QQS Pro https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4830145 Changes: 1. Made the effector plate and extruder mount into one piece. Easier assembly, no errors leading to a non-90 degree placement of the extruder, fewer bolts, etc. 2. New effector plate is thicker than the original. 3. Extruder is centered on the bed. In the original design it was off a little, so if you were to print a circle around the bed edge the nozzle would run off the bed. It this design it is centered. 4. Added mounts for the stock probe magnet plate. 5. Effector plate has an large cutout above the extruder fan allowing you to pull a jst connector through during assembly. 4. No heat-press nuts required (see below). 5. Added a missing fan shroud. **The entire assembly relies on M3 bolts to self-tap a thread. No heat-press nuts are used. I recommend pre-tapping all holes by carefully driving an M3 bolt in, perhaps with a bit or lubrication (I splashed a bit of water). If you go slow and steady your bolt will tap a perfectly reusable thread, provide a pretty strong connection and be straight.** All holes are sized at 2.8 mm that worked well for me, the standard deviation during Marlin Delta calibration stays under 0.08. You will need 6 M3 bolts for the plate-to-arm connections, 2 M3 to attach the extruder to a plate and 2 short M3 bolts for the leveling plate. Note that the holes in the effector plate are sized to be pretty long so choose the longest bolt length that fits. Can't recall what I used, so just measure with a caliper. Same for two extruder bolts, select the longest length and tap the thread. For the leveling plate, you only need short bolts. To attach fans I used some small bolts from an old laptop. Not sure what size they are. As an alternative you can just superglue the fans on. I printed with Carbon Fiber PETG with 2mm walls and 20 percent gyroid infill. I would stay away from plain PETG for this build as it is much less rigid than CF PETG. Not sure about other filaments like ABS or Nylon. PLA is likely a bad idea due to proximity to the extruder. In my build I have had no issues with anything melting or softening so far. Printed on an Adimlab Gantry Pro, but who cares.
