*******Updated Jan 11 2020 with link counts and spool holder\r\n******updated jan 15 2020 with correct drive mount link \r\n\r\nI'm Not the Designer, I Just Converted My Printers!\r\n\r\nNone of these designs are mine nor have they been altered or modified in any way.\r\n\r\nI Successfully Converted Both My Ender 3 Pro and CR-10 Mini Using These Parts.\r\n\r\nThis Is a Direct Drive Conversion Using a Printed Mount and Extruder, Featuring All Stock Parts Except for the Extruder Extension and a Couple Screws for the Bullseye (Dual 5015 Fans Are Optional).\r\n\r\nI Was Able to Print Ninjaflex at 45mm/s with This Mod, But My Main Goal Was to Use 3dlabprint's Premade Gcode Files Without Modification for Their RC Planes (Yes, They Work Perfectly).\r\n\r\nPlease Follow Printing and Mounting Instructions on the Respective Pages for Each Part.\r\n\r\nAfter Finding the Correct Length for the Bowden Tube, I Removed the Clips from Inside the Fittings; They Are No Longer Needed as the Extruder Holds the Tube Firm. You Can Do This or Leave Them as Is - I Wanted It Easier to Remove.\r\n\r\nMy Parts List... \r\nDirect Drive Mount\r\n\r\nI Switched to This Bracket, Which Uses Aluminum Spacers and Is More Firm; Plus It Has a Cable Chain Mount. I Used the Bltouch Compatible Mount.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3844638\r\n\r\nExtruder (for TPU, Uses Stock Arm)\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3682065\r\n\r\nNote: You Can Use the Stock Fan Housing and Duct \r\nBullseye Duct (Because Petsfang Won't Fit the DD Mount) - You May Need a Couple Longer Screws; If You Are Converting from All Stock, Use These Two Files.\r\nBULLSEYE_BASE_CREALITY_9.27 (the Mount for the Duct)\r\nBullseye_Duct_9.27 (the Duct Part)\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2759439\r\n\r\nOptional - Dual (or Single 5015) Fan Adapter.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3419171\r\n\r\nI Run These Dual Quiet 5015s at 60% or Less and Don't Hear a Whisper from Them; Might Be Overkill for Cooling but They Are Silent (and Look Kinda Cool).\r\n\r\nWinsinn Quiet 5015 Fans (12 or 24 Volt Avail)\r\nhttps://www.amazon.com/dp/B07WMMWHVQ\r\n\r\nI Have Also Added Cable Chains and Brackets.\r\n\r\nEnder 3 Cable Chain by Jonniewhiskey (and the Remixes)\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2920060\r\n\r\nThere Is a Remix of This with Most Parts Needed If You Look\r\n\r\nI Used 20-22 Links on the X Rail, 21-23 on the Z Cable, and 15-18 on the Bed Wires.\r\n I Also Used the X Mount - https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3849353, or https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3844638.\r\n\r\nI Also Used This Spool Holder with Two 608 Bearings.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3382762\r\n\r\nSince I Have Two Ender 3 Printers and One Is in the Corner and Hard to Reach, I Used This Left Side LCD Mount.\r\nhttps://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3645317
