Creality Cr-10 Flexion hotend direct mount

thingiverse

***Recently Updated 04/06/2018*** I made this thing because there was nothing readily available for a direct mount to the CR-10. All you need is stock screws for direct mount to x axis, standard front facing fan screws, the screws provided with the flexion hotend heat sync and some turbo fans which can be found cheap on ebay or other online sources. I prefer to make designs with minimal outsourced parts, buy your flexion hotend and turbo fans then your good to mount up to Cr-10, I have managed to successfully print many fine objects with this design, please ensure bed is level to a 0.4 feeler gauge and that Flexion hot end, heat sync and nozzle are perfectly aligned to reduce the chance of clogging. This is only issue i have stumbled across where the bowden tube is getting pulled back upon retraction then causing a clog. To reduce this effect I have attached a bowden connector at the top of the print and also printed some bowden connector clips/locks to ensure there is no room for the bowden tube to lift upon retraction. Some may not have this issue due to alternative slicer settings. ***Another model is yet to come where the extruder will be mounted on the x axis directly into the hotend***. Happy printing!
