Ender 3 Direct Drive Extruder Mount - Dual Gear - Easier clearances

thingiverse

The author for this mount deserves a lot of credit! In my opinion it is the BEST direct drive mount for the Ender 3. You lose NO Z height, and you can easily see the extruder while you thread filament in. I have been using it for many months very happily! This remix only includes the DUEL GEAR Mount for Ender3 without BLtouch, although I have modded a BLtouch to work with it. (This one is stronger than the BLtouch compatible one I think.) This one differs from the original model in that it has more clearance around the bearing rollers, (The previous design took some dremeling for me) Also, the part of the mount which wraps around the top of the carriage is a bit looser, as my previous one cracked from having too much pressure on it. (Too tight.) I have tested this one and both of these issues I had previously were indeed gone. I tried using an enclosure while printing PETG the other day, and the extra heat,coupled with stepper current being a bit high on the extruder, caused my PLA print of this mount to melt out of shape!! Going to PETG now.. And fixed the current..
