Hotend Fail in the middle of Calibration! :(

[shentheory]

So I finally finished my Rostock Max V2 build over the break. Installed the firmware and started calibration.

Thermistor came loose, my hotend is toast

BUT. I also bought a E3D V6 when I got my kit. But have no way to mount it now because I obviously can't print a mount!

Has anyone with the E3D V6 gotten the "EZ Groove Adapter" that seeme sells? I'd love to hear any reviews on it, and I would love to see some pics of how it's mounted too, if you got em!


FAIL!!

Don't have the one from SeeMeCNC but the one from Trick Laser works with the E3D V6 and has a few pictures.

Here is my E3D v6 using the SeeMeCNC mount. It works just fine. You'll need to get some longer stand-offs and use a different layer fan shroud.

Awesome, thanks!! Can I ask how long the stand offs need to be or where I could pick some up? It'd be great to get some while I wait for the adapter to get here!! Thanks again!

The length on the ones that were posted by rpress were 1 3/8 long. Mcmaster Carr has the largest inventory of spacers.
Have you given any thought what you will use for a layer fan?

Thanks so much!! And if I'm being 100% honest, I havnt thought about the layer fan But that's why it's great that people like you are here to spell it out for us noobs

As per the manual, you print completely fanless for your first print (the peek fan shroud) and then you print the layer fan. Well I obviously already have the peek fan installed for the e3d v6, so couldnt I just print the layer fan shroud from the manual after I install the E3D v6? It looks like it is connected to the effector platform, so I shouldnt have any problems installing it even with ez groove mount right? But again, what do I know? What would you recommend? Is there a better shroud that would fit my needs? Thanks!!
