This is an older version V1.1
new one: https://www.printables.com/model/183688-extruder-relocation-mount-for-creality-printers
Fixes: better filament guide, better motor placement for cable management.
Original mounting place for the feeder motor on Ender style printers bends the bowden tube in a shape, that makes it spin inside the teethed couplers, chewing through the ptfe and making it lose grip. This mount rotates the feeder output to the same direction as the hot end, thus removing torque on the bowden tube. On my ender 3v2 there was just enough wire length to comfortably reach all limits of the printer, but a longer tube was needed. There is a chance you might need to extend the wires for your autolevel sensor. I used jumper wires for that.
To install this mod replace the X axis limit switch cover with this one and screw it on with original screws. To rout your wires like mine, you'll need to take off the motherboard cover and striaghten all the wires that go to the hotend carriage. Face the feeder motor connector towards the back. Cut your ptfe tube to 55-60cm in length. Move the original spool mount to the back left side or the front left side, bolt it on with it's T-nuts and feed filament in from the bottom side.
For cable management, cable_1 and cable_2 are mounted where feeder motor once was, use zipties in given slots to mount cables and add some wire or a piece of filament for the hinge. I made a notch and a hole in the left back side 4040 extrusion cover and ziptied the cable loom to it for stability.
Adjustable filament feeder uses 20mm (or longer) pieces of scrap ptfe.
