FT-5 E3D Titan Extruder Mount Kit
Folgertech is out of business so the FT-5 enclosure and accessories have now been discontinued. The good news is the plans for this 3D printer enclosure kit are available on Thingiverse so you can make it yourself! Perhaps the biggest thing holding back the stock FT-5 from high print speeds is the weight of the extruder motor on the gantry. The bowden design used by high end printers is designed to move the weight of the extruder motor off of the gantry, allowing the hot end to move that much faster with much less vibration. While the stock FT-5 normally has the filament come in from the top, once its enclosed, its better for the filament to enter from the side. This kit, when paired with an E3D Titan will turn your stock FT-5 extruder into a full-fledged bowden. The design of this mount is unique, and the result of many months of testing. With bowden designs, the shorter the PTFE tube the better to reduce the need for retraction. This design has the Titan mounted up as high as poss
