So. My Good Friend Matt gave me a Vyper with no power supply to play with.
A Power Supply is on it's way and I decided to make it a direct drive.
Printing the adapter mount now and got wire to increase the power supply wires.
I'll be soldering the extension wiring and heat shrink tubing to protect all that.
I'll be extending the lines to the Drive and sensor as the sensor will be above the Bowden Drive.
This is the Bowden line that needs extended.

Interested in seeing it pan out.

The adapter.

Once you go direct drive, you probably will never go back. I printed a similar bracket for my Ender 3 -- the "bowden tube" is now only about 2 inches long. Less retraction, better flow control, and TPU is now no problem. I print slowly (the stock hotend can only flow so much anyway) so the extra moving weight is of little consequence.

I'm waiting on the Power Supply to get here so I can solve a self-leveling issue Matt said this Vyper had.
I suspect the strain gauge but could be a few other things also.
Matt can tell you I was gonna buy a Bambu A1 but then one of the Fur Babies cost me over $277.00!
Plus another $70+ for meds!

That bamboo a1 would have been sweet but the cats are of a top priority.

I'm not much of a cat fan... I probably could have 3D printed one and been happy.. :o ;D
Yeah, no need to say it... I know I am.
