Description
Second hotend mount for Ender 3. You mount an original style hotend on this piece and a microswiss all metal one on the original bracket (a clone will work just as well). I recommend using a direct drive kit as well to make mounting a second extruder easier. I also recommend getting the SKR 1.4 (turbo model optional) with five drivers of you choice. This is the ninth iteration, and I keep finding improvements, so be aware that I may update, and if you find a problem, perhaps I can fix it. After doing some looking around, I see this upgrade removes the options for most fan ducts, so if anyone wants to work with me to create a part that allows both, you know where to find me. I'll also share the Tinkercad version if you need it. I have never made a fan duct for my printer, but I needed new brackets when I printed this part to mount my second hotend.
I may add other versions, but I needed this version so that is what I have. I am open to suggestions, so please share any in the comments or direct message me.

(Required for this upgrade) (Purchase five drivers of your choice, my recommendation is to use the drop-down and pick five matching ones because they are pre-fit for the board. 2209s are what I ordered.)
