Creality Ender 5 extruder arm.
Device used to reposition the extruder so that the Bowden tube can be drastically shortened.
(*) If you build an enclosure, the way the cable moves in a flat plane will allow you to reduce the height of your enclosure top.
The device is held to the printer with the original extruder attaches.
The extruder is attached to the device using 2 wood type screws with flat heads:
Note: You might need a stepper motor extension cable depending on the length of your original cable that was cut in factory. Length on mine was just enough but some users reported that theirs was a bit too short...
Note 2: Cooling of the extruder motor is less efficient than the original position which benefits from some cooling via the aluminium frame. Therefore, consider adding a heat exchanger if you want to push your printer to its maximum print speed capabilities.
Concerning the filament feeding, 2 possible setups are visible on the pictures:
Two versions are available:
