Prusa i3 'Rework' EZStruder Mount

thingiverse

This mount allows you to mount an EZStruder direct drive extruder to your Prusa i3 'Rework' X-Carriage. I chose to use a direct drive extruder as I was having some issues managing the retraction settings with the Wades style geared extruder leading to excessive stringing. (Disclaimer; I also changed the filament diameter from 3 to 1.75 and the hotend nozzle from 0.5 to 0.3mm, so the extruder may not have been the only contributor to my problem) Instructions Required; 1 x EZStruder 4 x M4 x 20 Screws 4 x M4 Nylock Nuts 2 x M3x40 Screws 2 x M3 Nylock Nuts 1 x 12mm long cylindrical spacer 1 x 18mm long cylindrical spacer 1 x 40mm fan 1 x Hotend with J-Head style mount 1 x i3 Rework X-Carriage 1 x High torque Nema17 stepper motor This mount incorporates recesses to entrap the M4 and M3 Nuts for ease of assembly. Use spacers if you intend to mount a cooling fan.
