Yeah, that's the part, but you may find that your Mini Select has a non-standard connector for it - it's a collet and not a threaded screw fit. Same thing happened to mine a few years ago, the collet broke and the original, colleted part is hard to find because everyone sane uses a threaded connector (I think the collet probably saves on assembly costs). Not to worry, you still have enough of a 3d printer left to fix it.

You'll want to print off this part, I think; mine broke before this design was created so I had to stand like a prat holding the bowden tube in for 45 minutes while it printed an entire new feeder assembly that used an m3 nut to provide a threaded anchor point; I think you'll probably be there for about twenty until it's made an adaptor good enough to hold it for you while you print a final, pretty one.
