"Crab" Direct Extruder for Flying Bear Ghost 5 with extra supports for the feeder and chain adapter

thingiverse

This is a remix of a popular direct extruder for flyingbear ghost 5, nicknamed "Crab", with additional supports for the feeder on it's back. The supports require replacing the mounting screws for the feeder with longer M3 screws (45+ mm). The left side is also reinforced in the area that is known to break on the first use sometimes. The idea of this particular reinforcement is that the original only has supports on the other side from the tube, so if the tube experiences stresses beyound the fittings' holding force and the fittings come loose, the feeder mechanism will "climb" the filament instead of pushing it - unless it is supported on the tube's side, which is exactly what this extra support is for. Unfortunately, it does not solve the crab's body itself becoming soft when used in a heat retaining chamber. UPD 06.07.2023: Uploaded additional versions for both sides of the crab. Both sides were reinforced to (hopefully) prevent unbending in heat chamber. The right side additionaly received cable shields that prevent cables from going anywhere.
