Flexion Direct Extruder Mount V2 for CR-10

thingiverse

See it in action! https://youtu.be/BYDGu5f8Zuo Flexion is one of the most advanced extruders available today, specifically designed to print very flexible filaments like TPUs, Cheetah, Ninjaflex and even X60. But it can also print any other filament out there. See this Youtube video for more information. I decided to design a mount for my CR-10 as these did not exist. Well there's one design, but it uses flexion as bowden extruder replacement, which kind of defeats the purpose because you need to have direct drive setup to print flexible filaments well... I designed this mount to be easy to print and attach. It's very rigid and strong, even when printed at 50% infill. You won't need supports, but it's better if you use high heat materials like PETG or ABS (mine was printed with eSun black PETG). >Warning: This mode requires you to do some rewiring and use of E3D V6 hotend. Update: 12/21/2017: Re-uploaded STL models (not sure why they disappeared). After struggling with this extruder and almost giving up, I was finally able to solve issues I was having and dial in settings for most materials. The biggest improvement came from adding dual-z upgrade to my CR-10. Most likely acceleration and jerk values have to be changed (slower). Let me know if you have any questions.
