This mount enables to install Cobra extruder on FFCP, which replaces the original Mk10 extruders.
Note that installing Cobra extruder will convert the FFCP double extruders to a single extruder.
The advantages are:
Lower carriage mass(380[g] compared to 600[g]) which enables higher acceleration and speed.
Full metal extruder which enables to print any kind of filament, including PLA, ABS, PETG, Nylon, TPU, PC, CFRP PLA, Copper PLA.
Fast and easy Nozzle switch, thanks to a simple nozzle replacement mechanism (Detachable Filament Guide and Nozzle Module).
Heavy-duty extruder enables to print for long without jams or skipped steps.
Easy filament loading and unloading.
The mount is compatible with the original FFCP carriage and doesn't require any drilling or permanent changes.
One would need to reposition the Z-axis endstop because the print bed must go a little bit higher than normal. (It is recommended to replace Z endstop with Z Probe to enable Auto bed leveling).
Important: High Flow Nozzle must be used, because they are longer compared to the default Cobra nozzle.
