Probably should go ahead and throw on that e3d. The stock hotend is really short. The e3d is much taller. Just a thought.

Off topic but what is a nightshade?


A nightshade would be me being an idiot and meaning supernight...2 weeks of tinkering w this every waking second doesnt help the brain much...thanks for spot, will correct now

So that E3d you've been planning on (if you get me your measurements) will most likely solve your problem wink

Also wondering what you are using for carriage and hot end at this point?

Couldn't you just flip that over and run it on the underside of where it is mounted? 
That would at leas solve the problem of it hitting the y-rod.



I tried but the cut out in the bed platform doesnt have enough room to accommodate it. It also is mounted w 4 m3 screws which unless I chop platform up (might be too much and impeded on integrity) is only way for it to fit, even with that done unless that works than I just trashed that platform...havent had much luck looking for vids except people showing theres working...no install or tips, so stab in the dark by asking in here...cant help me w everything Ward tongue...finally found something lol

Yeah maybe not directly wink send a forum mail to Tim (2n2r5) I bet he'll respond.  It seems to me there is a firmware change that was implemented for that mod also.  You will want to ask about that as well.
