Kobra 3 (V1 AND V2)- ULTIMATE ACE-PRO Overhead Mount
NEW: Added an Ace-pro V1 to Ace-pro V2 adapter. Free to download on Makeronline: https://www.makeronline.com/en/model/Ace-pro%201%20to%20Ace-pro%202%20Adapter/279394.html?trackModuleType=10
NEW: The model also works with the Kobra 3 V2.
NEW: The model offers two types of drawer front, vertical and slanted. The main print profile has the slanted drawers as I felt it would add a little something to the design. If you want vertical drawer fronts please use the print profile "Anycubic non-slanted drawers.3mf"
I have been thinking at ways of improving my Ace-Pro overhead mount for some time and I finally got around to it. I wanted to keep it functional while adding numerous new features. This is what I came up with after lots of thoughts and designing.
The Ultimate version offers all of the features of V1 and V2 with the following improvements:
-
Two large drawers with GRID-FINITY style compartments (the compartments can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);
-
Build plate holder for two or more buildplates;
-
Side mounted tool tray (can be can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);
-
Side mounted External spool holder (can be downloaded for free on Makeronline);
-
LED clips for mounting LED under the Ace-pro overhead mount;
-
Re-designed and improved rear extension feet for improved stability;
-
Dovetail mounts the sides of the bottom brackets for custom add-ons.
-
No external hardware or glue needed for assembly (this is optional)
TECHNICAL SPECS AND INFO
- The build requires a little less than 2 spools of filament.
- PLA and PETG are fine. The design is very rugged so no need to use ABS or ASA.
- The assembled height is 800 mm (31 inches) with closed lid and 1m (39 inches) with the lid opened.
- Unfortunately the parts used for V1 and V2 are not interchangeable with the Ultimate version.
- If you chose to use the LED clips these are mounted using wood screws (see instruction picture). I used a no. 6 wood screw x 1/2 inch (approx. 3.5 mm diameter x 12.5 mm long)
INSTRUCTIONS
IMPORTANT: I have included a print profile (3mf file) for the base unit with all the required parts. I strongly recommend you use this as the parts are correctly oriented and optimized for printing. I have painted support and it is designed to use TREE MANUAL settings.
I have also included a second print profile (3mf file) for the cable and LED clips.
I have also uploaded individual STL files for the parts (many like the 45 degree and middle posts can be used on both sides).
ASSEMBLY
A Gif assembly video with the model description photos shows how to assemble the Ace-overhead. I also uploaded a zip with the assembly photos.
