What is the best solution for an SD4 with an E3D v6? I'd rather use the standard setup, I don't have the tools or machinery to, for example, turn down the top portion.

If I do need to print a new extruder, what is the best material? And what do you think of using a service that prints in resin so that it will be much more accurate fit wise?

by the way I recently printed and started using this mount. The locking ring removed a little bit of slop I had in my hotend. Unfortunately my printer isn't accurate enough for wardjr's mount. I recommend this one if you have any doubts about the accuracy of your printer when you set it up.

Hmmm, maybe it's time you dial that thing in wink

You are all scholars and gentlemen.

The heatsink should be borderline room temp with the it has fan on it. Mine is cool enough to grab with my bare hands even after several hours of printing.

On the lawsy carriage it does reduce travel a bit but the trick is to just rotate the fan 90 degrees... If you're worried about travel the side fan takes away more. I removed it and have no issues. Prior SD models use the stock hotend without the fan just fine so what is the purpose?

If anything I'm more interested in knowing how you made the e3d fit in the stock aluminum. I have my block somewhere. Isn't the e3d too big, even if you drill out the holes? Did you grind the heat sink?

All I did was chuck the E3D aluminum heatsink into the lathe and removed the top flange.  It then fit perfectly into the hole where the stock extruder went and the set screw holds it there.

The new fan actually misses the Y carriage (slides underneath).  The 6mm travel reduction is from the frame of the upper fan grill hitting.  Interesting comment about removing the side fan.  I think removing it all-together will buy you 10mm more travel over stock.

The bottom makes the motor stand too high and you can't align the holes on the motor, center carriage and mk5. All of this really only matters with the linear bearings conversion. I'm just saying I think it's fine to take that fan off. You have to keep the aluminum to use the stock carriage anyway because it bolts the motor to the center carriage through 3 holes in the bottom of the plate, and the motor doesn't have those holes.
