Anycubic Predator E3D Hermes adapter

This is the simple adapter I made up to allow a E3D Hermes extruder to be mounted to an Anycubic Predator in the stock position. It requires some M4 knurled inserts and a soldiering iron to install them. Using the stock bolts for the springs and the bolts that come with the E3D for the mounts to the stepper.

The black and the blue wires on the stepper motor connector must be swapped for the proper operation. I tested extrusion and got damn near bang on 100 mm so I left the stock calibration in.

With this vs the stock setup there is less slop in the gears, the filament is driven from both sides, no plastic gears to wear out, no lubrication required, and can be mounted direct to a new hot end (although I have not tested for clearance with the 6 arms and new fan mounts would most likely be required).
