Ender 3 direct drive mount for Creality hotend

thingiverse

Due to my almost pathological need to make my own version of everything, I've come up with a direct drive mount for the Ender 3. It bolts onto the x carriage wheels in place of the spacers, resulting in a pretty solid build. So far, I'm getting great results. The design should fit the stock extruder perfectly; I'm using an aluminum one but the dimensions seem to be identical. You'll need to add an extension for the extruder cable, though.
