Description
## Situation So You Broke Your Ubis Hotend And Don'T Have Time To Buy Another, But You Do Have A [J-Head](Https://Www.Hotends.Com) Lying Around? Then -- *Wow* -- That'S A Pretty Specific Situation You Have There, But At Least Now You Can Do Something About It. ## How At First It Looks Like This Isn'T Possible, The J-Head Is Too Short To Mount In A Simple Metal. But It Can Be Done, There Are Two Methods For Using A J-Head On A Simple Metal: 1. Print [A Mount](Http://Www.Thingiverse.Com/Thing:401789) Which Holds The J-Head Low Enough To Pretend It'S An Ubis. 2. Modify The Printer To Accept The Shorter J-Head. These Files Help You Achieve Option 2. ### Lift Bed To Use The J-Head, You Have To Raise The Print Bed On Longer M3 Bolts (20-30Mm) ([Available Online](Https://Www.Boltdepot.Com/Metric_Socket_Cap_Stainless_Steel_18-8_3Mm_X_0.5Mm.Aspx)) With Springs (Available At [Home Depot](Http://Www.Homedepot.Com/P/Everbilt-Spring-Assortment-Kit-84-Pack-15642/202045461) In The Door Hardware Section). To Raise The Bed You Should Lower The X Axis Belt, One Way Of Doing This Is By Laser Cutting Or Printing The Extensions From Here And Mounting Them To The Print Bed With M3 Bolts And Zip Ties. ### Smaller Fan Shroud Then You Need To Print A Shorter Fan Shroud That Doesn'T Drop Below The New Hotend. I'Ve Uploaded A Kinda Ok One Here.
