Assembly Video
V1 vs V2 Assembly – The assembly of the V2 is the same as the V1 except for the thermistor slides in and is secured in with the grub screw on top of the heater block. DO NOT OVER-TIGHTEN THE THERMISTOR GRUB SCREW AS IT CAN DAMAGE THE THERMISTOR.

Thingiverse is a wonderful place to locate mounts and we also have printed parts in our shop for some universal parts.
It is up to you to determine and select a mount for your specific printer model (or design one) to install this part on your machine and wire it up to your machine (if applicable).

Bought two of these hotend kits to rebuild a pair of printers donated to my wife’s robotic club. The parts are well machined and fit together perfectly. The amount of parts you get in this kit make it a fantastic value. I used a multi-mount hotend mount and paired it with a Tough Extruder, 5015 parts cooling fans and an EZABL. All together it makes for a very solid and reliable build.

This was shipping very quickly and easy to assemble and attach to my printer. I have printed PLA, PETG, and ASA and the nozzle has worked perfectly.

Great quality hot end thats easy to assemble and get going. I opted for the 50w upgraded cartridge because im impatient and want my hotend to heat up faster. Pairs great with the multimount.
