*chances are your ball is compatible if it's within the [min, max] range, and it probably is.
**kindly consider supporting Ukraine to fight Russia in the ongoing invasion and occupation.
-
There MUST be no supports, unless you really know what you are doing.
-
PLA, PETG, ABS — any of those are fine.
-
If you experience bad tracking, you may want to print and install spacers.
-
Insert magnets on a flat hard surface while the device is not assembled.
-
Cyanoacrylate (superglue) works nice for magnets.
Also available for non-standard BTUs: SP-8, Veichu-15.
If you use CY-8H Aliexpress BTUs, it is recommended to go with the 50-52.4mm version instead.
You can ignore the fact that it is deprecated in such a case.
That version (in combination with this BTUs) should work with a 55 mm ball too.
Fits a 50-55 mm ball. In this mod, the bottom and top parts of the original Adept case have been modified.
This mod fits the original 45mm ball.
You can find the 3MF files for Bambu printers on Makerworld.
The shell is deprecated, see 50-55mm one. It has standard size buttons and better BTUs placement.
This is the link to genuine BOSCH Rexroth BTUs.
CY-8H BTUs from AliExpress are compatible, with one exception so far.
SP-8 and Veichu-15 are not directly compatible, but there are model(s) available.
You will need 4x2 mm circular neodymium magnets, full set (device + buttons) is 24pcs.
They MUST be glued, ideally with a cyanocrylate based glue.
We have the best of the best.
