This print is made for using with an all metal hotend. The stock end will be too tall, but might work if you removed or swapped out the hose retainer thing for a shorter one.

My hotend is a gulfcoast robotics type, like this: https://smile.amazon.com/Gulfcoast-Robotics-Conversion-Polished-Heatbreak/dp/B0811NWV2F/ 

I think it might be a clone of a microswiss. 

It's made for 3mm bolts. Do yourself a favor and get one of those assorted kits off amazon or wherever. 

It will also require drilling a hole through the mounting plate for the right hand side. I used a nylock nut on the back. Be careful if this protrudes too far it will foul on the x limit switch (see picture 3). You could pack a washer under the front, or slide the limit across a little to fix this. 

The part has a space on the back for an accellerometer for input shaping, and a mast for strain releif/zip ties.

Before you mount, insert a short piece of teflon tube into the hot end, and cut it off 10mm below the top of the mounting plate. This should line it up about right with the bottom of the extruder body. 

I printed in ASA at 90% infill. Print orientation as shown in the screenshot of cura. I printed with supports, it's mainly needed for the raised section to take into account the thickness of the fan shroud flange. 

No warranty expressed or implied. Be careful out there.
