Distance between XY rods

Distance between XY rods
April 29, 2015 08:35PM
I'd like to try an E3D hotend for my Tantillus and there are a number of slick looking carriages on Thingiverse that are designed for the Ultimaker. Shouldn't be too hard to adapt one to a Tantillus. Just need the vertical distance between the XY rods. Anyone have a clue? I tried using calipers to measure but it's awkward and error prone.

Drat.. One millimeter more and it would be interchangeable with the Ultimaker :-)

Thanks MadMike
