I see previous posts mention 2mm. Maybe I can get by with that. I am not by my machine so I am just guessing.
If you used the one that I posted a few posts back. That one will not fit E3Ds. I just updated that post with one that will. Lawsy has already corrected this issue with his design. When I redid the design to help aid with the fit of a hotend that I had, I used the original lawsy design so it wasn't meant to fit the E3D. I have since updated the file to work with the E3D.
