    Post Convert i3 direct drive extruder to Bowden?

    I've decided to upgrade my i3 again.
    I am think I want to change the extruder from direct drive to a Bowden.

    Has anyone done this? I'm after some help or info?
    My nozzle is a J-Head.

    Frame is a steel plate/wooden style if that makes any difference.

    Just after some points or info if anyone has any?

    Never used a Bowden so this is new to me, seems like it will be a fun new challenge, especially with the software and retraction issues.

    Speed increase will be great!

    Edit: Some software help for anyone else: http://slic3r.org/blog/tip-bowden-extruders
