Monoprice Mini Select V2 Hotend CR-10 Upgrade

thingiverse

This allows for replacing the factory hotend directly with the CR-10 style hotend. The CR-10 hotend seems to work flawlessly, while myself and others I know have had numerous problems with the Monoprice factory hotend. No new hardware required. Simply print the backplate with supports with columns facing up, the faceplate doesn't require supports, but print also with columns facing up. Remove old hotend, while being careful with heater and thermistor wires, as you'll be using these again. place CR-10 hotend in-between two printed halves, then place in factory carraige. You might need to lightly sand, or press firmly to get proper fit. I would recomend printing in ABS, or a higher temp material due to the nature of a hotend, though I printed my first one in PLA, and it is still weeks later working fine. I've included the solidworks 2018 design files in case you would like to tweak. Also, I have a version that works with the excellent Micro Swiss hotend. Enjoy flawless prints!
