Longer LK5 Microswiss Direct Drive Mount & Filament sensor Mount

prusaprinters

<p>If you are unfortunate enough to have a suboptimal Longer LK5 and want to use it to its full(ish) potential, you may have considered upgrading to a direct drive extruder. However, there are not a lot of options out there for the LK5. I decided to purchase the Microswiss direct drive upgrade for CR-10's and do my best to make it work. After some tinkering with my models, I have completed the mounts and are posting them to help anyone else in this situation.&nbsp;</p><p>The main mount comes with a place to attach a BL Touch for easier bed leveling (highly recommended). However, I also included a blank mount and the STEP files as well in case you'd like to modify it to better suite your needs.&nbsp;</p><p>The filament sensor and stock mount will just not work with a direct drive setup, so i also created a new mount that you can put a piece of bowden tube inside and then the other end into the extruder. You will need an extension cable for the sensor though.&nbsp;</p><p>So overall, this setup will get you going with a direct drive on your LK5 and hopefully get it to run much better. Enjoy!</p>
