Description

If you are unfortunate enough to have a suboptimal Longer LK5 and want to use it to its full(ish) potential, you may have considered upgrading to a direct drive extruder. However, there are not a lot of options out there for the LK5. I decided to purchase the Microswiss direct drive upgrade for CR-10's and do my best to make it work. After some tinkering with my models, I have completed the mounts and are posting them to help anyone else in this situation. 

The main mount comes with a place to attach a BL Touch for easier bed leveling (highly recommended). However, I also included a blank mount and the STEP files as well in case you'd like to modify it to better suite your needs. 

The filament sensor and stock mount will just not work with a direct drive setup, so i also created a new mount that you can put a piece of bowden tube inside and then the other end into the extruder. You will need an extension cable for the sensor though. 

So overall, this setup will get you going with a direct drive on your LK5 and hopefully get it to run much better. Enjoy!
