E3D Chimera mount

HAs anybody tried to mount it?
I am looking at how and I am concerned that it has problems with proper homing because of the larger distance of the nozzles from the X axis.

Not yet, but was planning to in the next few months. I haven't found a part to mount it to the X-carriage, can you share?

I am looking at how to do. I wanted to redesign the small connecting part but it might not be enough.
When i have something i will share. I am now waiting for my ormerod to finish its print to check how much room I have for the homing an, hence, the mount

It's a pretty tight squeeze but the carriage will probably take the weight. Mine is holding up an E3D Volcano on the Cola mount pretty well: [www.thingiverse.com]

I bought one a few months back, but haven't designed a mount yet.

its a work in progress...

It uses DC42's mini sensor board, but I am not sure of how far it steps over the bed...

you may have to home x and z with the bed out by however how much is needed for the sensor to be over the corner of the bed
