  1. Sorry for the late reply, but I revised my mod quite a bit. My original design was quite laborious, but I found a more elegant solution based on ultiarjan's suggestion: www.thingiverse.com/thing:4873659 I just made two small accessories: 1) tube-holder: reuses the bowden-tube as cable-guide 2) Y-endstop-extender: BMG stepper motor will crash into the UM2 housing without it You will also need: - "Ultimaker 2 BMG direct drive mount" by Tigerhawk60 (www.thingiverse.com/thing:3798359) - Bondtech BMG extruder - "Tinker-Firmware" by TinkerGnome (github.com/TinkerGnome/Ultimaker2Marlin/releases) - V6 groove mount compatible hotend (24V Heater Cartridge, PT100 Thermistor) - small piece of 1.75 mm bowden tube - custom slicer profile I would also recommend to print everything from ABS or similar temperature stable. There is also a aluminium head assembly on AliExpress, but be careful, you may have to modify (drill/mill) to get it working. Also it's quite heavy and the included linear bearings are trash. In retrospect I would recommend to start with a 3D-printed one... Prints like a charm now (even flexibles).
  2. I thought about the same Thing but opted for a Bondtech BMG + pancake + Hemera Hotside + custom heatsink: First test prints look good, but I am still testing this for reliability. But there is also a UM2 Head assembly with BMG-clone and V6-clone on the cheap on Aliexpress that I haven't tested.
