Having an accelerometer on a 3D printer helps improve the quality of the output by measuring vibrations and resonances, this helps tune the printers movements.
I wanted to install to install one on my Mercury one.1 Zero G however the mounts for the EVA 2.4 toolhead do not accommodate the accelerometer made by Mellow, and the location in the mount is too high anyway and in a different orientation. From what I have learnt, better readings are had when the accelerometer is closer to the nozzle.
I did make a few prototypes in nylons as it was quicker to do….
After a few alterations, I made a decent mount that held the accelerometer without suffering from any vibrations (which would ruin the measurements).
Now I have created the ADXL345 mount and shared it on printables, if you want do print it for yourself, you can get it here: https://www.printables.com/model/1493509-mellow-fly-adxl345-accelerometer-mount-for-eva-24
