This mount uses zip ties to attach a reverse Bowden system to the MK3 power supply.

Inspired by the reverse Bowden system created by codiac2600, this mount attaches the non-extruder end of the Bowden setup to the power supply. The original design includes a frame holder that will actually impede carriage movement if moving to the far right side of the print area.

This replacement for that frame holder attaches to the power supply grill with just a couple zip ties. Simply screw in your coupler and zip tie to the power supply.

In addition to using this mount on my own printer, I am using the screw-on coupling for extruder by zcubed. Rather than the press fit of the original reverse Bowden design, this screw on cap combines the upgraded filament sensor cover by Area51 with the threading for the Bowden coupler.

In the end, no parts from the original reverse Bowden setup are actually used--just the concept. All you need to print is the screw-on coupling for extruder, the original filament sensor cover upgrade, and this power supply mount (no rafts or supports necessary). You will also need two PC4- M10 couplings and some Bowden tubing (I used 24" of tubing when I zip tied this to the top of my power supply).

Parts list:

• Bowden tubing and couplers: http://a.co/b2dttLB
• 1x this reverse Bowden power supply mount
• 1x Filament sensor cover (do not need the guide)
• 1x Extruder coupling (replaces the guide in the previous thing)
