Ender 3 Extruder Top Mount Uprgade Kit

thingiverse

I'm upgrading my Creality Ender 3 with an upgrade kit that mounts the extruder on top of the frame. The result is amazing: a straighter Bowden tube requires less force to push the filament, allowing for a higher extrusion feedrate in my case. This setup also reduces weight on the Z-carriage and provides much better filament guiding. The Cable_clip_extruder can be scaled in X direction to suit your needs - I've opted for two 190mm pieces and one 100mm piece to cover the entire aluminum profile. To prevent the mount from slipping, I'm using a t-nut, which is usually included with the spare parts of the printer.
