J-Head MK V Adaptor for PrintrBot Simple Metal
Description
I Had An Accident With My Original Ubis Hot-End, And Since It Was Out Of Stock At Printrbot, And Because It Probably Would Cost A Small Fortune To Ship To Denmark... At First I Got Some One To Print Micaelatoz'S Adapter, Thinking That Would Do The Trick... But No, The Adapter Doesn'T Fit The Printrbot Simple Metal. I Had To Cut A Big Chunk Out Of The Cone, To Get The Hot-End To Stay Where I Wanted It To Be. So, I Decided To Make An Adapter Myself, And See Where That Would Get Me. First Lesson I Learned, Was To Make Sure The Jhead-Heatblock Was Oriented So It Didn'T Collide With The Chassis, Because There'S So Little Space Available When Y Axis Is Fully Retracted, And Z Is Low (Just Look At The Fan Shroud, There'S Reason It Is Shaped That Way!)... My First Print Worked All Right For A Few Layers, But There Was A Crack Due To The Collision, And Then It Snapped Clean Off (See Second Image) You Will Need To Have 2 M3X30 Mm Screws Plus 2 M3 Nut'S In Order To Secure The Jhead Firmly.
