Ender 3 Direct Drive Extruder Conversion

thingiverse

*There is an updated version of this bracket available. This is a direct drive adapter bracket for a stock creality ender 3. you can re-use the original extruder motor and parts cooling fan and duct with this bracket so the only things you need to buy are the titan extruder, v6 hotend, and inductive sensor. i use an 8mm inductive sensor and have tested it with both the ender 3 pro magnetic build plate and a spring steel magentic build plate without any major issues. I would like to see someone adapt it for a BL Touch as i do not have one and wont have one for a while most likely. this model is intended to be printed without any supports and can be done in any material other than PLA. Polycarboante is best, if you cant print PC then ABS, followed by PETG, or of you only have PLA then please use a High Temp glass or carbon fiber filled PLA. cheap PLA by itself is not sutable to this part as it will loose too much rigidity due to heat if you ever get your hotend over 200c, and i personally almost never print below 200c. the carbon fiber PLA does do a decent job, but a higher temp material would be better If you're interested in seeing future projects or seeing what I did to this ender 3, you can follow me on Instagram @vincent.teune or just take a look at #frankenprinter
