The original+ has the case of the original, the difference between the UM2 and UMO is the XY axis are "the other way around" so in your case you can just take a mount for the UMO, there are plenty around.
The original+ has the UM2 electronics (right? the white board) so you can simply use the E3Dv6 version with the block that holds a pt100. The install is simpel, install and mount, connect the new heater from E3D, connect the PT100.
However, WHY do you want to use the E3Dv6? IMHO the 3mm bowden version sucks with PLA, some people use it, but have to add oil to the tube. So if you mainly print PLA don't do it.
I use it myself to print ABS at high temperatures (270c) for this it works very nice.
Oh, and last thing, depending on the design you use, make sure to use the correct voltage fans.
Thanks for the tips! I'm just looking for a more robust hotend that'll handle some more materials. Recently, I've been having trouble printing some materials, and there's been a ton of clogging. I love printing in PLA, so it's a little worrying that you think it sucks - has ABS worked just as well? Thanks again.
