Check out the https://zesty.tech They make an system that essentially gets you the benefits of direct drive and bowden by remotely driving a feeder with an ultra stiff cable so you don't need to have the stepper on the print head.

That direct drive mod looks like something I might invest in... We shall see how it performs with the Bowden first :)

Thanks for sending this along!

Nicholas,

There's a company out there that makes a linear rail upgrade kit for the ender 3 and ender 5. The website is printermods.com

The only thing they bring to the table is they've just assembled the parts, but still cool nome the less.

I just watched a webinar from these guys.  Those of you with 3D printers might want to check them out.
