2.85mm and direct drive conversion kit ender 3 pro

thingiverse

## I am currently working on a new and improved system, featuring a quick changeable hotend, bltouch support, my own cooling design and more. This version still works but the new one will be much better. I don't have a release date now, I will try to make a pre release thing when It I will be almost ready. Hi everybody Everything begins when I got a very good deal for 2.85mm Ultimaker ABS. At this point I was like "oh, it's not the same filament diameter but it will be easy to convert my ender 3 for it!". No. It was not. In this post I'll explain everything I did to convert my ender 3 pro. I will talk a lot about my life so I'm gonna divide this post in chapters so you just have to follow the interesting instructions. **This project is still work in progress and may not work for everyone. Please don't expect a solid and professional system.** After a lot of effort my system finally work so I'm currently not upgrading this project anymore **for now**. If youre intersted in this project I'll try to upgrade it. Ideas : - make an adapter for [dpetsel's petsfang system for default ender 3 hotend](https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439) to quickly change between 1.75 and 2,85mm filament - make a quick release system to change even quicker between filament diameter, something like [this](https://www.reddit.com/r/3Dprinting/comments/q57mot/i_designed_and_built_my_own_custom_toolchanger/) - add bltouch support
