Topic: E3D with Solidoodle 4

Hello Everyone! I can't wait for my E3D to arrive, just to check will the E3D work on the aluminium nozzle mount that comes stock with my Solidoodle 4?

Thanks!

It is very possible...

I bored the .630" hole to .481" deep and then drilled and reamed the hole for the filament all in the same setup so everything would be concentric.  I then put a 8-32 set screw in the side (visible on photo) to hold it in place.     Sorry for the inch references but I am an American and don't do metric very well.

It starts off as Lawsy's carriage upgrade, but mutated into pretty much anything else, which includes a discussion on E3D and SD4s.

Hope this helps
