Ender 3 Direct Drive Conversion v2.10.8.19

thingiverse

This is a remixed version of https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3784906. My original design had its flaws, but I've made some changes in this one too. Feel free to customize it however you like. However, my original design had issues with the mounting bracket for the inductive sensor getting in the way of assembling the v6 hotend, and the mount for that same sensor wasn't sturdy enough. If you're still using limit switches on your ender 3, I recommend cutting off the mesh entirely as it will just get in the way if you don't need it. I recently printed this new version out of ABS and it's been a huge improvement over the original. I also upgraded the V-Slot wheels to clear polycarbonate not long after installing this new bracket. After 300+ hours of printing, I'm finally posting an updated version. This setup combined with an SKR v1.3 running Marlin 2.0 has enabled my ender 3 to hit printable layer heights as low as 0.04mm, or 40 microns. It takes forever to print at that low a layer and the leveling has to be flawless, but it worked. I rarely go below .12 when printing anymore just for the time factor. Enjoy! And don't forget to follow me on instagram @vincent.teune or #frankenprinter if you'd like to see everything else I've done and plan to do with this printer.
