Extruder gear assembly directions-mendel 3

At the extruder drive assembly section the parts on hand and the directions on the web are not the same. The web directions show a large printed gear and the parts I have look very much different. Additionally, the mdf board is completely different. Are there updated directions?

Please see the attached photo, I was helped a bit recently by support and found the directions for extruder in the fisher build, but I'm unsure how to attach the mdf to the frame. It would appear it attaches with m3 x12 but I don't want to use up parts.

With the closing of RepRapPro my question for directions to attach the extruder assembly will likely go unanswered.

did you wrote them down ? they will be open untill 15/01/2016. Also did you looked at the documentation page. There are some good instructions about the extruder but then again i cannot understand what are these parts for ? Where are you located ?

Problems solved. The extruder is from the Fisher build and instructions are there. The extruder attaches to the laser cut board on top of one of the z-axis motors using two 35mm cap heads. Luckily I found a picture of the attachment from northernhope blog. I'm located in the US and suspect the webpage I'm accessing and the one accessed from the UK are different.

The printer is calibrated and should be printing tonight after work!
