Description
This is a simple adapter to allow you to make use of the makerbot style plastruder tip on a mendel. This fits just below the extruder stepper assembly.
It contains two holes spaced the same as the makerbot retaining disc. The holes are NOT offset the same distance from center. One is 1mm closer. Don't ask me why they did this, but I mimic'd it. ^^
NOTE: You may need to change out the screws as the depth will increase when ;layering on this piece.
NOTE: You'll probably want to rework the extruder assembly for mendel to remove the cylinder hole at the bottom as, if you use this piece, it is not required.

Instructions
Prints upside down. You'll probably need to fit the piece to mendel before putting the extruder tip on it as the mendel x carriage is a tight fit.
