Description
there are plenty of 3d printable direct drive extruder brackets for the ender-3. however i haven't seen one for these red metal dual gear extruders that you can find anywhere from amazon to ali express. i found these extruders to have much better grip strength than the stock creality single gear extruder so i upgraded my printers to these. due to these extruders being offset by 9mm (18mm total from mounting plate compared to 9mm for stock creality extruder) all the other models don't fit. so i made my own.
the model can be printed without supports. the stl should already be in the optimal orientation when you import into prusa slicer.
i recommend to print out of PLA+ or stronger with at least 20% infill and 3 perimeters. if you have difficulty pressing the spacers in place i recommend to heat the print slightly with a hair dryer since forcing them in can crack the print along the layer lines.
