Help with changing to bowden

Ok so i've been printing (mostly) great off my Foglertech I3 since february. Ocassional hicups here and there.

Haven't done any real upgrades to printer, except aluminum Y carriage and print bed. Which made it WAY more rigid and accurate.

Now i want to upgrade my extruder type to a bowden.

I've seen many pictures of many different setups for many OTHER printers. Many different customized and altered version on thingiverse and minifactory. There is just too much to go through.

Can someone start me in the right direction for something that would work great on my folgertech Prusa i3 ? Extruder type..hot end...maybe a write up on the conversion with parts needed. I'm doing search but there are just too many pages in many threads to read.

I swear i saw someone with a link in signature about this very thing.

Where you got the aluminum plates? They look way better than the acrylic.

I recently changed over to the airtripper bsp edition Bowden set up for my dual extruders and couldn't be happier. They are easy to print and only need a few parts to make them operational.

Oh yeah. Buy these right now, so tired of my warped acrylic.

Just switched to airtrippers bowden and an e3d hotend as well. It works great.
