Description

Adding a spacer is the simplest solution if someone wants to use the E3D V6 hotend (genuine or clone) on the Anycubic I3 Mega. No other change is required for the X-carriage, except 4 longer screws (M3x18 or M3x20). The modification is of course reversible.
Using the spacer, the Z position of the nozzle is kept (almost) unchanged. A new hotbed leveling will be most likely necessary, as for any hotend change.

Pictures with shorter E3D V6 hotend (LHS) vs Anycubic J5 hotend (RHS), E3D V6 hotend assembled on spacer, J5 hotend with original mounting for reference.

Some E3D V6 clones are slightly longer than the genuine E3D V6 hotend. If a clone is used, should be checked the delta length - the spacer fits the 8mm delta gap between the length of the Anycubic J5 hotend and the length of the E3D V6 hotend. If necessary, downscale in the slicer on Z the thickness of the spacer until it roughly matches (+-0.5mm) the delta length as measured.
