Mounting Plates:

Although I had bought some of the components from the internet, I found that they were not the right size for the piece I was constructing, so true to form, I had to knock up some replacement pieces, using MDF to make the mounting plate a little larger, which meant that it was more suitable to attach to what I had in front of me.

The MDF mounting plate that I created was about 2cm thick, with an indent cut into one side of it, to allow enough room for the stainless steel (non-heated) part of the Hotend to fit into. The indent should be wide enough and deep enough to securely hold this part of the completed printer nozzle piece which came with the Hotend kit. It is this piece of wood which is used to hold the Hotend and the extruder, so it is important that you make sure the piece of wood is large enough to hold both.

Before I attached the mounting plate into place, I drilled holes in it to allow it to be attached securely into place on the metal brackets I had attached earlier, as well as drilling holes which allow the extruder to be securely attached once the nozzle is in place. Once you have constructed (or bought) a suitable mounting plate, attach it securely to the metal brackets which are fitted on the site of the former inkjet cartridge carrier.
