Mounting-adaptor for Universal Paste Extruder to fit Mendel90

thingiverse

This is an adaptor to be able to fit the Universal Paste Extruder onto a Mendel90 printer. Extruder: http://www.thingiverse.com/thing:20733 Please note: This is uploaded by request. I have not tweaked the design to make it perfect. I just printed one and fixed the problems by hand afterwards. Some filing and such is required to make it work. You can probably see what's done in the photos. It's nothing major, you're done in five minutes. The design is also based on what I hand available, therefor allen-screws are used instead of hex. placed so that they can't be held when screwing them down. Not very optimal, but it works. See instructions for how to make them sit better. Also: Please note that mounting this extruder makes the working-area approx. 25mm smaller. Edit that in your Marlin-firmware or be very careful not to print to large prints, that will make the X-axis run into the end. Instructions Some nuts and bolts are required. What you need is four M4 nuts, one M3 nut, one ~10mm M3 screw, two ~20mm M4 allen-screws and two ~15mm allen screws. The two screws holding the plate down to the printer can not be reached when mounting, so to make them not being able to spin freely: File one or two dents into the head of the screw. Then put them into the holes of the adaptor, and melt some plastic down into the dents, so that the plastic holds the screws down. Everything else can probably be seen in the pictures.
