This is a modified version of Amadon's Chimera direct drive extruder, with the following alterations:
- I removed the right motor and idler and created a path for a bowden tube. The resulting half bowden, half direct drive system has several advantages over the original design:
- it reduces the weight on the X carriage, and its width
- it still allows the easy use of flexible filaments
- it simplifies assembly, particularly removing the necessity of replacing the screws on the motor
