BullDog XL Extruder Mount for BI2.5

thingiverse

The Prusa Mendel XL is a well-constructed extruder, and fortunately for me, one happens to be lying around. It sparked an idea - upgrade the extruder on my Monoprice Select Mini V2. I needed a way to install it, so I decided to utilize the same mounting location as the existing one, thus the creation of this adapter. To my surprise, it worked perfectly. This post aims to help individuals who own the same Prusa Mendel XL extruder and are looking for a suitable replacement or upgrade solution. Here's how you can replicate the build: **Prusa Mendel XL Installation:** Mount the Prusa Mendel XL using a compatible frame, in this case, the one on your Monoprice Select Mini V2. To attach it, make sure to securely fasten it with screws provided with the printer kit. To print this design successfully: Print settings should include no rafts and supports enabled with a resolution set to draft quality at 100% infill. It's crucial that you select a suitable material for your prints, preferably a durable PLA filament. Keep in mind that the creation of these objects involves the combination of mechanical components like gears, springs, or clips used together, resulting in solid printed pieces that perform under high temperatures, hence their ability to function smoothly within an enclosure environment
