[Idea] MK8 drive gear compatible direct drive #17

I've heard good things about the the MK8 drive gear.

Perhaps it's worthwhile to make an alternate Wilson direct drive body for the MK8.

The MK8 has a smaller diameter than the MK7 so making a compatible drive would probably involve moving the stepper motor mount a little bit closer to the path the filament takes so that that path stays straight when the smaller diameter MK8 is used.
