INTRODUCTION ----------------------- This upgrade relocates the bowden setup's extruder motor from the top of the frame to the x-axis. The tube's curvature remains consistent with every movement along the x-axis, regardless of z-axis height. This ensures smoother filament travel by reducing ptfe tube flex. BOM ----- 1 x M8 Bolt (minimum 40mm length) 2 x M8 Nut 3 x M8 Washer 4 x M3 Socket Head Cap Screw (12mm length) 2 x M3 Socket Head Cap Screw (20mm length) 6 x M3 Nut 1 x Skateboard bearing (8x22x7mm) SUPPORT --------- Only support required for main-base.stl INFILL ------ All parts are printed with 30% infill. ASSEMBLING PROCESS ------------------- Refer to provided photos for assembling process. CREDIT ------- The extruder was mounted in a SnapFit Bowden Extruder Mount Anet A8 by hachiroku. I remixed it and created a base for the M8 bolt to fit on the rear of the extruder motor.
