Detachable flexible direct drive for the Ender 3

In this video I show how I add a direct drive system with a flexible shaft from Flex3drive. Because this is an open source system it's possible to make modifications. I've made one by making this system detachable with the use of a standard m5 hexagon bolt. At first I wanted to make a custom connector with this coupling system embedded but I quickly found out that it's simpler to use a different connector for the wiring. The reason for me to make it detachable is to add tools which can benefit from this system which I'm going to make my upcoming video about.


The kit I've bought for this video can be found here:
