On my continuing mission to elevate the weight on the z axis I was thinking of removing the hot end and extruder motor, in favour of mounting the motor to the frame and running the filament to an ed3 titan v6 style hot end.
I understand the filament will need to be run through a Bowden style set up.
Now my main question is has any one modified their printer on this way and could you point me in right direction of where and how to start
Extruder change and upgrade

Hi
It won't hurt if you look at the design of the M201 printer.
By the way, a very interesting concept.

On the forum I help to use the rod, I don't give fish.

Re: Extruder change and upgrade
I've found some resources for printed brackets and parts should run me to the cost of about £20 GBP (> $25 USD)
I'm thinking of adding a filament sensor of some sort, but I need to work out the programming
