Rostock Effector Probe-less E3D J-head v5 mount

thingiverse

Build a Chinese clone of E3D v5 J-head, incorporating a 30mm fan and mechanical endstop. Since no probe is required, the J-head functions as a probe itself. This design was inspired by numerous models; unfortunately, I cannot locate the link for the j-head base at this moment. For the probeless feature, refer to the Buffalo Effector with optical Z probe (Thingiverse: 1093345). To see the J-head in action while probing the bed, watch this video: https://www.flickr.com/photos/sub_zer0/shares/F6Esk2. This build is still a work in progress and has some weaknesses, but it performs well during probing tests. **Print Instructions** Feel free to experiment with different settings; I printed at 30% infill with a .14 layer height. Support material is only necessary for the fan_endstop piece. **Assembly Instructions** 1. Place both pieces (effector_head) on the J-head. 2. From underneath, push them together starting from one side (movable) and then the other (stable). The limited space will cause a slight struggle, but I used a knife to smooth out the edges. 3. Insert 1 M3 screw through the top+head pieces. 4. Tighten 2 M3 screws on the head piece to secure the J-head. 5. Attach the fan to the fan_endstop piece and then to the top piece. 6. Adjust the endstop so it clicks into place just before any movement on the head piece, and then tighten it. Finally, assemble the entire top part with the body of the effector using long M3 screws. Place the led base under the effector and secure it with nuts.
