Description

After having to replace my real J-Head with an E3D-V6 clone I had to redo the extruder portion since the real J-Head is smaller and used a completely different approach.

The approach I used was to use some PTFE tubing shoved into the hotend all the way into the extruder where it butts up against the 2mm filament hole. This worked flawlessly but if you ever have to remove the hotend (which will rarely, if ever, be done in reality) it will demand the removal of the heater block then grab the PTFE tube and pull it out. Once that is done then simply unscrew the clip and slide the hotend out. No big deal and if I ever go to some exotic rubber like filament I can drill out the 4mm hole all the way then make the filament tube go all the way up and a cutout right before, and after, the bearings so the travel path will be short.

With the advent of Simplify3D I found that its supports were better than the built in/baked in supports I was using and is in the original I3 rework files.
