Direct drive extruder adapter STL file?

I was poking around the Sourceforge directories, and I can find the original flexible drive extruder (which I have built), but does anyone have a file for a direct drive adapter? My flexible extruder drive is about to let go; I may be able to make a direct drive adapter for the GM3 before it breaks if I'm lucky... smiling smiley

Are you looking for the "Direct drive/No-support gear bush holder" here [reprap.org] ?

close, but my extruder is slow enough without the gears. I'm looking for the no gear direct drive GM3 mount. I think maybe that's what Nophead is using, but I can't find the file.

Hi Wade,
I think this is what you are looking for: -

I have attached the STL.

It is not easy to get at this file. I used the Tortoise SVN client to find an older version of the extruder assembly file. It is a hidden object which you can make visible, orientate and save as an STL.

exactly the file! Thank you once again Nophead! Maybe we could stick this on the extruder alternatives page?

I've also ordered a new extruder from Iain, the new design looks nice, and I could use a plan B.
