Techzone Huxley and Adreans extruder

i have a Adreans extruder, but i am looking at buying a Huxley from Techzone, and i was wondering if there was a way to get those two parts to work together, i know i would have a smaller print area, until i could print out the parts i need, to make the proper Huxley extruder.

the other thing i wanted to find out was the distance from the top of the y carriage to the bottom on the y carriage

money is an issue for me, i do have all the electronics and some of the motors that i need, but this seems to be the cheapest way for me to build my reprap.

i know i will loose hight
the frame is 54mm tall the bigger gear onit is 77 mm tall
and the extruder comes down about 70mm from the bottom.

with my order just to be on the safe side i ordered the bowden extruder too, just so that all my bases were covered.

ah, thats what i was worried about, the control for it would be allot more finicky given the distance from the parts on it.

that pretty much will come down to fine tuning your setting more than anything, i am very eagerly awaiting my kit when it gets sent.
