Micro Swiss Direct Drive for CR10/10S/Ender3 - Smooth Fang Setup

thingiverse

At last I decided to upgrade my CR10-S to direct drive using the Micro Swiss Direct Drive kit. It's now finished and I'm achieving my best print results yet. The Smooth Fang I adjusted my popular smooth fang design for reversed fan orientation and made a couple more simple changes to it (see images). Just like my original smooth fang, this version prints without supports needed. Check the original design for more information. Mounting Plate I was about to model my own version of ozfunghi's mounting plate when I stumbled on a mounting plate done by madbuda. I remixed it because I liked his design and especially because he modeled slots for M3 nuts that are needed to attach the fang. I removed the BLtouch holder because I don't use automated bed leveling, and adjusted some of the holes a bit because they didn't perfectly line up with my version of the Micro Swiss frame. You can find madbuda's original mounting plate with the BLtouch holder here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:4101494 Plate Clip/Cable Holder I made my own clip that holds the mounting plate to the Micro Swiss frame on the right side. This clip also serves as a cable holder with integrated zip tie guides. Additionally, I made a compact extruder knob that is big enough to operate easily but narrow enough to be attached even after the fang was mounted. ADDITIONAL THINGS NEEDED TO COMPLETE THIS SETUP: 40mm Fan Mount You will need to download and use the "FANG-oz-40mm-MicroSwiss.stl" made by ozfunghi: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2763931 5015 Fan You will need a 12V 5015 fan (for CR10/-S), Ender 3 seems to use 24V fans. In my case, it's a model by the brand SUNON. M3 Bolts and Nuts You will need simple M3 bolts of varying lengths with fitting nuts. 9 x M3 - 16mm 1x M3 - 10-12mm 2x M3 - 22mm Please share a photo if you finish this setup!
