Prusa i3 MK3 Flex3Drive Stepper Mount

thingiverse

**Update:** After about five weeks of delays from Flex3Drive, I have decided to cancel my order. This decision seems reasonable based on my successful fitting of a spare NEMA 17 motor. If you find it useful, feel free to give it a try. **Details:** I have ordered a Flex3Drive Direct Drive Adapter (https://flex3drive.com/flex3drive/f3d-dda/) for my Prusa i3 MK3 printer. The idea is to mount the heavy extruder stepper elsewhere and run a lightweight, 40:1 geared flex drive shaft to my existing extruder setup. The Prusa i3 MK3 has mounting holes pre-drilled on the left side for a Raspberry Pi. These holes appear close enough to provide suitable mounting for the stepper in this application as well. Work is in progress; I will post an updated STL when I receive my order from overseas and have it set up. I wanted to share this information now, just in case someone has one on hand that they'd like to try.
