ender 3 direct drive cable and bowden relocation bracket

thingiverse

This is a bracket I designed because I got a direct drive extruder, and the mount for the reverse bowden tube is a lot taller than the standard hot end bowden mount. This means that for tall prints the bowden tube will foul on the top part of the gantry. My mount relocates the bowden tube outside of the gantry, as well as all of the wiring for the hotend. This bracket retains all of the range of motion on the X axis. You may have to extend wiring to get to the top of your Y travel, but I don't think that that would be any different with the stock setup. This will print in place with no supports, you just need to flip it on its back. There is a 6mm hole for a standard bowden tube coupler to screw into, and then filament goes into the "elbow" of the arm. Cabling can be tied to the bottom of the arm and up along the bowden tube.
