Cambo3d's J-Head Mount
Posted: Fri Jun 21, 2013 11:09 am
I don't know if you have seen these but Cambo3D has a very cool two piece J-head mount for sale that accepts the brass fitting from the stock Rostock Bowden Tube. These are designed to fit on the stock Rostock effector base.
In this photo, I have a hotends.com j-head that I have inserted into the bottom piece of the mount. The other mount with Bowden tube brass fitting goes over the top of the head keeps the J-head securely in place.
Also in the photo is a mount for the E3D head.
To install these, you can use the stock 1" standoff (metal tube); however, i think you'll find the distance between your head and the effector base a little tight. You might consider 3/4" standoffs. (Don't forget to recalibrate!!!)
He's selling them made to order here:

I was happy with Cambo3D's availability to answer questions, his answers and the speed at which he delivered the mounts.
(I thought I would post before I mounted and then update this post a bit later with the full assembly.)
