Mercury-OUTDATED VS Unklicky

lets make it even better

I started with the Mercury One Cad file I think ( https://github.com/ZeroGDesign/Mercury/tree/main/CAD ) because it's nice and simple but when I needed to compare with the Ender 5 I used this: https://grabcad.com/library/creality-ender-5-pro-1

But ZeroG have documentation and STL downloads for the EVA and Mercury One.1 here : https://docs.zerog.one/ and their github is here: https://github.com/ZeroGDesign/Mercury

I assume you’re aware of the Mercury one project? ( https://github.com/ZeroGDesign/Mercury ) Is there an advantage to your design or a reason you wanted to go your own way? Very cool btw.

I believe you could make a Mercury One conversion on it. Although it was designed originally for the Ender 5, the X5Sa is similar enough so that it should work.

High flow versions of more modern hotends, like the Dragon or the Rapido will give you a better chance on that, but since you'll need to mod the toolhead to support them I'd also convert your printer to a CoreXY motion system by making the Mercury One mod, linear rails can support higher speeds/accelerations than v-wheels, and also have longer life.

Hello all - There are quite a few E5+ mods out there for converting to linear rails. I am just wondering if anyone knows the benefits between a standard linear rail mod like this versus the Zero G Mercury One Mod. I think I want the Mercury One but just posting this to get other peoples opinions. Ideally, I'd go with a Rat Rig Vcore3 but My E5+ is going to be around for a while. I can currently print at 5k acceleration (generous - could go higher) with a DragonflyBMS printing at 180mm's but would like to bump it up maybe a little more.

I see a Mercury One conversion in your future... 😁

There's Unklicky Tap which still has amazing accuracy, and only require a few magnets, screws, and printed parts to build. And you can always just easily swap to an OptoTAP later whenever you manage to get one.

The UnKlicky is said to be potentially even more accurate than the original and isn't really any more difficult to build if you want to try to get even more out of it

Same, but I use unklicky, it's just so convenient!

Thanks for the Unclicky reference, didn’t hear about it anywhere.
