CR-10S Dual Flexion Extruder-E3D V6

thingiverse

Flexion is one of the most advanced extruders on the market. It's been specifically designed to print very flexible filaments like TPUs, Cheetah, Ninjaflex and even X60. But it can also print any other filaments out there. I decided to design a dual extruder mount for my CR-10 as these did not exist. There are a couple of designs out there but nothing for a dual flexion extruder setup. I purchased the dual setup with the use of E3D V6 hot ends https://flexionextruder.com/shop/extruder-for-e3d-hotend/ and direct drive conversion so we could print flexible filaments well... I designed this mount too easy to print and easy to attach. It's very rigid and strong, even when printed at 20% infill. You will need to decide orientation you need, and I used the tree support options in Cura. For the part fan shroud, you will need to use heat materials like PETG or ABS, but the rest can be PLA. Warning: This mode requires you to do upgrade to the dual control board and flash new firmware along with some rewiring. Tested filaments to date: PLA (tested, works great!) COEX X60 Ultra-Flexible (works great) Final thoughts and considerations I've tested this bracket and it works very well. However, you need to keep some things in mind. Wire management needs to be implemented. CR-10 was not designed for its extruder motor wire to be moving... If you are printing materials like X60 other TPU based material, you are probably should place filament spool above printer on a roller setup. You will need upgrade the control board and there are many videos on YouTube to help you along with that If you are adding a BL Touch please check YouTube as well Finally, correct slicing settings must be dialed in for new direct extruder. It will take some time to dial in settings so be patient.
