Do you have a link to your an STL to print out that bowden setup? Also what did you use for the metal gear?

It's really not that much force. I sell the connectors, though a pair come with the E3D by default.

I tapped it, but you could probably just screw it in, should work just as well.

Thanks, how did you screw it in? Did you tap it or just screw it in a 12.5 hole? Cheers

I am considering upgrading to a bowden setup either for my existing e3d or the new krakon... But how do people mount the bowden at the stepper end?

I want a robust solution, something that isnt going to fail half way through a print.

Is there not a decent commercial product that the bowden tube end can fit straight into

CHEERS
