Stewpercharged Ender 3 Extruder Mover

myminifactory

This Ender 3 modification will transform your printer into a more streamlined machine, reducing its overall width while enhancing extrusion performance by pulling filament in a straight line from spool to extruder. As a result, filament no longer wears out the plastic tensioner, and the stepper motor consistently pulls against consistent resistance, unlike when it's dealing with loose slack or heavy 1kg filament reels. Coupled with reduced friction from guides, wheels, and worn-out grooves, you'll enjoy uniform extrusion, leading to more reliable print quality. Moving the stepper motor and tensioner 90 degrees also makes space for a built-in cable drag chain connector. When printing, orient your text with the text side facing up and use supports (15% zig zag). Please share your experiences with specific makes and pictures.
