Monoprice Select Mini MK8 (creality style) extruder spacer

prusaprinters

<p>I recently purchased this Mk8 extruder for my Mini v2. This Mk8 extruder is recommended for the Creality printers but I figured I'd give it a shot since it should be better for printing flexibles. Unfortunately, when I went to assemble it using the stock extruder gear and a 4x10x4 bearing, The filament hole was too low for the filament to run in the channel of the extruder gear. Initially I used some washers to make up the distance while I designed this spacer plate to make up the distance. The thickness of the spacer plate is 1.5mm and gets the hole almost perfectly vertically aligned.</p> <p>Ive included iges and f3d files if you need to adjust the thickness.</p> <p>Link to extruder and bearings I used:</p> <p>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07G868DSK/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p> <p>https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075CN23K9/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00__o00_s04?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1</p> <h3>Print Settings</h3> <p><strong>Printer Brand:</strong></p> <p>Monoprice</p> <p class="detail-setting printer"><strong>Printer: </strong> <div><p>Select Mini</p></div> <p><strong>Rafts:</strong></p> <p>No</p> <p class="detail-setting supports"><strong>Supports: </strong> <div><p>No</p></div> <p><strong>Infill:</strong></p> <p>100%</p> </p></p> Category: 3D Printer Extruders
