Does anybody know if there's a place that sells the barrel only? (part that screws into peek)

Looks like you will have to drill the wood out a little bit, but I don't think you would even need the wood. The wood piece applies pressure to the square acrylic spacer that sandwiches the mount. If anything you would need the wood as a retainer to keep the j-head from coming out of the acrylic.

@adrian Thanks for the reply. I had no problem removing the barrel from the PEEK (unlike the nozzle, that was impossible to remove).  I'm not sure if I understood correctly. Can I use the same acrylic block and wood plate, or will I have to make a new one with slightly different dimensions?

I'm pretty sure its the same dimensions, but let me confirm when I'm back in front of my printer in a couple of hours.

Wow, it takes them 3-4 weeks to ship a hot end that is in stock according to the website? That is just wrong. I own a small business myself and would never dare to list something as "in stock" and then make the customer wait for 3-4 weeks (I'll ship the same or next day). I'll be canceling my order and get a j-head. Does anybody know if the the j-head will fit into the original acrylic jigsaw mount?

I am also interested to know if the Jhead will fit into the jigsaw with no modifications.

It 'fits' - however - the original SD hotend is screwed through a wooden plate and acrylic block that bolts to the carriage. You would need to recreate this for the J-Head to mount correctly in the existing jigsaw - or you need to remove it from the existing OEM hot-end in a non-destructive way... (means unscrewing the brass barrel from the PEEK which some people even when heated have been unable to achieve)

You should recalibrate your PID settings.

As an aside, is there anything that should be done to prep this guy?  Or is it just plug in and go?

As far as replacement hot ends try doing a search on here for hotends for specifics.

Ones that I have seen:

OEM From Solidoodle
J-Head - May require slight mod to work but should be a direct replacement
E3D All metal - Moderate Modifications required (additional power for at least 1 fan (MUST DO), MK4 or Briggs extruder, search E3D for more)
PrintrBot Hot end - Moderate Modifications Required (MK4 Upgrade, new connectors on thermistor and hot end, z-tab extension, PEEK retainer, PTFE tubing and an exact-o knife for fine tuning)

There are others but these are some that stick out in my mind.
