direct drive horizontal/vertical chain start and stepper mount for Ender 3

thingiverse

I designed a horizontal chain start because I couldn't find one that suited my needs. This part fits perfectly on the Ender 3's extruder bracket and requires only three m3x8 bolts and nuts for installation. Editing my post, I realized Cura was struggling to slice this design properly, so I adjusted it by rotating the bracket to its side - now it slices flawlessly. However, this print does need support to complete successfully. The stepper mount bracket simply slides over the extruder motor without requiring any additional hardware.
