Then print a few and stop the print after 2,3,4&5 layers.  I know the one I used was printed using .3 layer height 100% infil.  Then I picked the one that was just a hair too big and it squished in there just fine.  I did file a groove into the fins to aid with tightening the mount to the bulldog.  One of those bolts is rather difficult to tighten otherwise.  I ran that setup for 1000's of hours and it still works just fine.  I did use the mount I designed for linear bearings and the bulldogXL  https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:242746 That along with fish line instead of belts made for a very reliable and precise machine.

Do you happen to remember the dimensions of that or have a file floating about?

I've got the Bulldog XL and a very old E3Dv6, maybe even a V5, it's so old I don't remember. The problem here is that my E3D and Bulldog never quite fit snug together and there is some wobble/play there. I'm not a 100% sure what I should do about that but I was looking at picking up the newer block upgrade with the thermistor cartridges because I'm tired of gluing thermistors in with the red stuff.

I came across that toranado, it looks interesting. Wondering if anyone has got that going? Any other suggestion on my fixing my E3D and Bulldog issues are welcome.
