I wanted to use a MakerGear compact hotend on my newly built RepRap Mendel, the problem is the hotend is so compact that it would not reach the build platform. So I devised this mount that captures the insulator and lowers the nozzle. I did need to make a new Wade's M8 Extruder block because for some reason the current Wade's mount doe not center the insulator in the X Cariage opening.

I have been using the hot end to extrude UltiMachine White PLA4043D at 186ËšC
