UPDATES
02/07/2017 : Updated arm for better spacing of the idler and smoother rotation, also updated piece A to fit a nut in place as a better threading solution for the bowden tube as the plastic tends to strip if pressure builds up or after disassembly for maintenance.

This also means if you’re using the existing extruder in a Bowden setup, this is a drop in replacement with whatever mount you are already using.
