A bracket to relocate the Ender 3 extruder to the top frame. Also includes a filler/wiring bracket for the hole left in the original extruder bracket and extrusion slot covers to protect the wiring.

You will need 4 t-nuts, screws, flat and lock washers to mount the bracket to the frame. Original hardware may be used to mount the extruder stepper to the new bracket, BUT: you may have to substitute slightly longer screws depending on what works. Check before mounting.

A filler plate is included to neaten up the appearance of the old extruder mount and to provide a tie wrap point for the hotend wiring harness. It can be mounted using small self-tapping screws or machine screws depending on what you have on hand.

My factory extruder wiring reached the new location with a bit to spare. Also included is a cover for the extrusion slot to protect the wiring (you will need to print 2)

You will most likely need to replace your Bowden tube with a longer one.
