Actually @neotko made a new topic for the announcement...
See here: https://ultimaker.com/en/community/46596-zero-gravity-extruder-v10
It is on YouMagine: https://www.youmagine.com/designs/zero-gravity-extruder-by-gudo-neotko-for-um2-and-umo-2
And my review video is there:

You could do that, if you design a different top head and a holder for the extruder top. I thought about that long ago but it really doesn't make sense to go back to bowden when you use DD. It just works great.

Hi to all,
Hi Ed
Thanks ! If go back to the Bowden system it means that the DD doesn't work as well as it. That's far from being the case, as neotko wrote, the ZGE in addition with the Bondtech gears just works so great that you will not want to use the Bowden again

Indeed, I see no reason to go back. I still have to adjust my slicer parameters to get everything dialed in properly, but in the worst case, the ZGE performs at least as well as the Bowden setup.
If you would need to go back (e.g. in case you broke something like the stepper holder and need to reprint it), it is quite easy, you just need to remove the custom hot-end cover plate and re-install the Bowden. It is not practical to switch back and forth, but if you have to, it should not take more than 10 minutes.

Did I miss something? Are the STL files already available?
I have read this thread a few times, but I do not find anything about the files.
Just to know if I can start with the adjustments.
