Monoprice Select Mini threaded extruder plate with taper

thingiverse

Broken Bowden tube connection collar on the extruder top plate forced me to replace it. I downloaded the great design "Monoprice Select Mini extruder cap to replace new OEM design by cmh" but wanted to use the proper threaded Bowden tube connector that is available. I added material to the connection point so that it touches the printer bed and threaded it to take the connector. Doing the print of the top plate was an interesting procedure as it required that zap straps be tied around the Bowden tube and then anchored to the extruder mechanism. The Bowden connectors are available at Gigdigit at the following url. https://gigdigit.com/bowden-coupling-connector-pc4-m6/ Just tightened up the connection of the threaded attachment to the extruder body for a more solid print. 6/26/19 Redid to include a tapered input to allow for easier insertion of filament when loading. Also printed in blue so the replaced part is obvious on the printer. Either top plate will work. 4/13/20
