Tips for Using This Hotend
- All Metal Heatbreak Information: Using your All Metal Hotend
- We recommend if you are getting jamming with PLA (this can happen with ALL METAL heatbreaks from any manufacturer) to print a filament oiler.
- Like this one: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:492067. Stuff it with a sponge or fiber then lightly wet with CANOLA oil. This will oil the filament path and keep the PLA from sticking to the heatbreak on a longer retract.
- After using this for about a month or two your heatbreak should have a nice “seasoning” on the inside and use of an oiler will be needed less or not at all.

After having issues with my stock hotend and wanting to reliably be able to print other material then PLA, I went with the TH3D V6 with the titanium heatbreak. Installation was quick and painless and I’ve had zero problems with it.
After reading the number of people who said all metal hotends had trouble with PLA I was afraid I’d experience clogs but taking the advice of using an oiler, I’m happy to say I haven’t had a single issue.
As long as you take the time to make sure it’s properly installed and your PID is correctly tuned, this is a great upgrade to have.

Well machined, easy to assemble with a plethora of assembly guides and instructions on the web. Heats up even faster than stock, and with the heavy duty mount is still light enough that it doesnt affect travel at all! I recommend also getting the silicone sock set.

This took a bit of time for me to install properly but now that I have it done I am so happy. Just remember to set our retraction to no more than 3 mm, though 2mm is prefered. I would recommend pairing this with the high temp tough tubing, titanium heat break, and heavy duty mount. Bear in mind the mount would also require a 5015 layer fan and should also use the CR10s old fan as its 40mm instead of the 30mm thats included on this system.
Amazing support from the community and TH3D which helped me fix all my problems !
11 out of 10, will purchase from again!

I have had no problems with this hotend. I have mine mounted with the e3d v6 pets fang mount and a 5015 blower fan. I’ve been printing tons of prints and I have had no clog at all. I printed the oiler but I haven’t used it yet. All calibrations test pass and PID auto tune holds temp very well. I am very happy with this Hotend.

I got this all metal hotend because I was printing at higher temps. Little did I know that this thing is a beast for all my materials! Very easy installation and the TH3D team has excellent videos and articles on this product.

Arrived, a day earlier than expected. Well packaged and well labelled, no guessing which part was what voltage. Installation video was concise and to the point. Total install less than an hour including soldering the heater and thermistor, and printing perfect on first print…. My printer is quickly becoming a TH3E E16…..

Definitely not a required upgrade for my Ender 3, but well worth it, especially if you want to convert to direct drive and eliminate long bowden tubes.
Test the resistance of the heater core before installing everything. I didn’t check before installing and my printer was faulting for thermal runaway. One of the crimped wires that connected to the heater cartridge wasn’t making contact. Slid the insulation back, re-crimped the connectors, fixed the insulation, added a some Kaplon tape and she was up and runnin.
Zero issues printing PLA, PETG, etc. I haven’t had to oil the hotend after swapping filament types, yet.
At the price point I recommend the upgrade.
