Micron E.M.E Cobra Extruder Mount for FlashForge Creator Pro 3D Printer. Cobra Extruder Link: https://micron-eme.com/collections/all-metal-extruders/products/cobra-extruder-single-version This mount allows the installation of Cobra extruder on FFCP, replacing the original Mk10 extruders. Note that installing Cobra extruder converts FFCP double extruders to a single extruder. Advantages include: Lower carriage mass (380g compared to 600g), enabling higher acceleration and speed. Full metal extruder, allowing printing of any filament type, including PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU, PC, CFRP PLA, and Copper PLA. Fast and easy nozzle switch, thanks to a simple nozzle replacement mechanism (detachable filament guide and nozzle module). Heavy-duty extruder enables long print sessions without jams or skipped steps. Easy filament loading and unloading. The mount is compatible with the original FFCP carriage and does not require drilling or permanent changes. One must reposition the Z-axis endstop as the print bed needs to be higher than normal. (It's recommended to replace the Z-endstop with a Z-probe for auto-bed leveling.) Important: High Flow Nozzle must be used, as they are longer compared to default Cobra nozzles.
