With this model I briefly describe how I mounted the E3D Roto toolhead together with the ebb36 to my V0. This is not a detailed instruction and is very specific to my setup. So it most likely will require some adaptations for other setups. My main concern is the use of only one linear rail on the x-axis as my mount is so slim it more or less requires the second linear rail which I installed, which then also requires to lower the extrusions of the printbed. Also the entire printbed has to be moved about 4mm to the right anyway if no buildvolume should be lost.

Most of the hardware used was repurposed from the mini Stealthburner such as the partcooling fan and some nuts and bolts some additional screws may also be needed. Only for attaching the belts I cut drilled and tapped a small steel part from 1mm sheet. 

To attach the belts I found it to be easiest to first slightly secure the two belts on one side with one screw and then insert the other belts before putting the second screw in and tightening. For enabling the full travel of the x-axis the left mount of the x-gantry also has to be reprinted (marked yellow in CAD) although this only gains about 3mm of travel. For me the y-axis is not limited in its motion and just barely touches the door (doesn't knock it open) when all the way at the front.
