The adjustment screws wont reach far enough....

Thank you!

Can you let your bed screws out (up) a little more?  You could also add some thicker glass (or multiple pieces) to make up the difference.

Flip the screw, then screw it back in from the bottom going up. Instead of the endstop hitting the threaded end of the screw, it will now hit the cap head end.

If you do not like this approach, there are several printable extended Z tabs available on Thingiverse

Thanks for the helpful reply!
I'l try that this weekend. Kind of momentum 22 on the "print new parts for the printer" right now since I can't use it to print. smile

I have now received the Lawsy MK5 from filastruder and I have mounted the E3D v6 extruder.

I now have a problem that the E3D is a few centimeters shorter than the ols extruder leading to the problem that the extruder cant reach the print bed.
Any ideas of how to solve this?
The adjustment screws wont reach far enough....

Thank you!

NAH on 2nd thought Apprentice is easier fix for that just make mount with fans mounts and duct for V6 for SD2 I could do without support for most my prints with that long as I make motherboard connection pins for G-code fan

then again duel V6 would fit in same space as the standard extruder on my SD2, is there a replacement motherboard for duel extruders with connection for G-code cooling fan? that may be my answer for saving the $700+ of an Apprentice since I dont need bigger build platform etc

Can I mount it in the acrylic mount first? I need to be able to print to print the new mount. smile

I don't think it fits the acrylic, I don't run the acrylic mount on any of my printers so its hard to know for sure.

I ordered the part you linked to. The part was $4.95 but shipping was $12.80. Still, the E3D wont do any good without a mount.

Thanks!

But depending on which fan you´re referring to I thinm there are two answers. The fan that comes with the E3D v6 is mounted just like the v5 over the hotend. If you´re referring to a fan to cool the extruded plastic, I personally havent got one yet. But I'd love to make a mount for one, and G-code for it shouldn´t be any different than other hotends... or am I missing something?
