E3D Extruder Plate with Extra Support

thingiverse

I'm a big fan of s_gutz's direct extruder, but my PETG prints were plagued by excessive flex, so I decided to add some extra support. To avoid any interference with the X gantry, I also added a notch that clears it completely. If you're printing with ABS instead of PETG, you might not need these modifications, as ABS tends to behave differently. Unfortunately, I've had trouble getting ABS to hold its shape without warping, which is why I switched to using PETG exclusively for my prints.
