Will it be using the stock, SeeMeCNC nozzles?

Our HE280 is a new design using a single 30mm blower and single heating resistor. The accelerometer is under the blower. The blower blows up. The valve can be turned to control air flow part either on or off. The intake of the blower pulls air across the heat sink to cool the hot end.

Is it possible to mount the new hot end assembly below the effector plate?
The main reason I have my current hot ends below the plate is to make the nozzle more visible to a time lapse camera. It also generally makes it easier to remove stray filaments wit forceps, without having the effector, ball ends and arms so close to the nozzle.
The gains of having a sensor may very well outweigh these other advantages.

you'd have to make an adapter, we haven't done that

I added a few notes to my previous post.
I would be happy to make an adapter, if you don't see any reason that one would not work.
Thanks for your insights.

Will you guy's be publishing the board size soon? I would like to figure out what sort of mount would be needed to get it working with an E3D (No slight intended towards you guy's hotends, but with the sunk costs of my hotend set, and the desire to keep PT100's, I'm not planning to use the new one with it (I may work with getting the old stock one to play nice with it)). Presuming of course that you make the board available separately from the hotend.

Here you go.

This is literally work I just finished today. Have fun, happy hacking.

Note the push to connect is not in there. It's pressed in john guest PTC fitting. The circuit board and components are perfect because they are the actual part files used to make everything. Also, all of these Solidworks files are 100% accurate to the current production model. Note the tiny height difference under the No.4 sheet metal screws. This is to pinch the circuit board firmly in place. We are making the very last mold tomorrow. Nathan will be machining the middle section of the blower ducting. The first fully functional Eris will be running Friday (what could possibly go wrong?).
BTW, we will machine another aluminum heat sink for groove mounting our new hot end.

Ooooh, a box with a handle... now that's good design!
Mine won't get here until later this week, it's still in transit.

So I'm dredging this one up from a year ago. I have # 32. A year has gone by and I'm curious what has changed with the Eris production? What sort of running changes have been made?
