I recently upgraded to a chimera clone. This is the parts i needed to make the swap.
Printer is a Max Micron I3.
The fan holder has the mounting holes off center. This is because it has to match the holes on the chimera block. My guess is that since these are so far off center they will not match yours. Simple fix in tinkercad should have you up and going.
The X Carriage. I moved the auto level sensor mount up to account for the shorter hotend. I added several different holes to mount the adaptor because by the time i switched i had several holes drilled and tapped in my old x carriage. the holes do not have the nut inlay i just ran an m3 tap through all of the holes and was careful not to overtighten the screws. I also added a horn on top so i had something to zip tie the wires to.
The adaptor plate is pretty simple. Notice that the hole pattern, i do not believe it will line up with a legitimate chimera hot end only the clones.
The chimera i got was $40 on amazon that
