Prusa i3 'Rework' EZStruder Mount

thingiverse

This mount facilitates attaching an EZStruder direct drive extruder onto your Prusa i3 'Rework' X-Carriage. I opted for this type due to difficulties in managing retraction settings on a Wades style geared extruder, causing excessive stringing. Note that other changes were made, like switching filament diameter from 3mm to 1.75 and nozzle size from 0.5mm to 0.3mm; the extruder may not be the only issue. The mount includes recesses for easy nut placement during assembly, and spacers are needed if a cooling fan is installed. Required components include an EZStruder, M4 and M3 screws/nuts of specific lengths, a 40mm fan, J-Head style hotend mount, i3 Rework X-Carriage, and high torque Nema17 stepper motor.
