I made this thing for myself. However, if it helped you out, please consider a donation via http://bit.ly/Bart3d or the TIP DESIGNER button.
This is an extruder plate extension for the Ender-3. It moves the extruder further to the center of the x-axis. With the V1 mount I was able to shorten the bowden tube with app. 6cm. With the V3 mount I removed an addtional 2cm.
Uses M3x8 screws and low profile m3 nuts to mount the plate. Also requires slightly longer M3 bolts to mount the extruder & motor.
Not really a remix, but inspired by the design of zimbozapp.
V1: Original mount
V2: Strengthened mount and added a hole for a zip tie
V3: Mount now goes on top of the stock plate. The extruder is rotated 15deg and offset slightly closer to the x-axis.
The retraction test in the pic was printed with the V3 mount and 2mm retraction.
Please note: My extruder motor now runs warmer than normal. Not hot, just warmer. I measured it a 40c. This is probably because the stock aluminum plate acts as a heatsink. If you plan on using the extension, keep an eye on your extruder motor temperature. Use at your own risk.
