Description
If you use two different extruders on your Reprap Mendel you might want a "ElkAdjuster".
This construction is a rapid-adjustment system that allows to adjust the level of the Z-Opto-Flag within seconds and without any tool.
It helps me upon an extruder change to quickly adjust the level.
