Here's a question - How thick is the glass you all are using for your plate? I am using 3/32" (~2.4 mm) and the Glass Support parts, (the new ones) are way too tall to hold that thickness of glass. It's easy enough to make these fit, just wondering if there is a standard or preferred thickness for the plate?

Of course there's no harm in trying especially if you already have a working 3D printer, but if I had a working servo motor, I would probably stick with it compared to the servo-less version. The reason being that my j-head is more sturdy when it is mounted directly on the X end that connects to the rods. I'm currently using the servo-less version and if I move the ptfe tube, the nozzle tip wiggles considerably. This could explain why my walls are not completely flat and ridges are visible. Maybe my tube is too short or I don't know what else. Just sharing before you try it.
Again, no harm in trying. Hope it works well for you.

Oh yeah, that looks like it can resist wiggle better since the arm has a wider contact with the x end.
It looks a little advanced though and but I should be able to modify it to keep my current Z plate. Then I can probably use a spring from a pen so I can try it out.
Is your design open and posted somewhere?

I gave a shot at designing a J-head mount for the newest servoless x-ends from Smartfriendz. I also used Regpye's idea of the PTFE tube near the switch and a longer radius between the pivot and the PTFE tube so that the PTFE tube does not shift much perpendicular to its axis. I'm going to give the whole thing a try this week during a teardown/rebuild switch to 0.4.8.

No, mine is 2.75" or 65mm from tip of nozzle to the end of the cold end, so it is not too different from the standard J-head.
Mine also has a few more parts than the J-head, those are to stop the heat travel.
Source files will be available when I get time to put them up on my website.
