Converts CR-10 and Ender 3 to direct drive for precise filament control
Eliminates bowden tube slack and reduces blobbing during prints
Uses stock components—no extra hardware required for installation
Strong mount design with clear hot end visibility while printing
Compatible with stock CR-10 hot end and Micro Swiss all-metal hot end

The Direct Drivinator converts your CR-10 or Ender 3 from bowden to direct drive extrusion, giving you precise filament control and cleaner prints. Long bowden tubes allow slack between the extruder and hot end, which causes blobbing and inconsistent extrusion—especially noticeable with volcano-style heater blocks. This mount positions your extruder motor directly above the hot end, eliminating that slack for immediate filament response.

Designed to work with stock CR-10 components, this conversion requires no additional hardware purchases. The mount is engineered for strength and rigidity while maintaining a clear view of your hot end during printing. It's compatible with the original CR-10 hot end as well as popular upgrades like the Micro Swiss all-metal hot end.

The design prioritizes clean installation and solid performance. By moving the extruder to the X-axis carriage, you gain the benefits of direct drive extrusion without compromising your printer's reliability.
