J-Head Hotend Full Kit with 5 Pcs Extruder Brass Print Head+ 5 Pcs Teflon Nozzle Throat Tube for E3D V6 Makerbot RepRap 3D Printer

I feel a bit guilty giving this a four star rating as it was only £10, but the thermistor wiring needed resoldering.I had to design a bracket to mount this on my RepRrapPro Mendel but once fitted it is a fantastic hot end, print quality is great. Oh and it's a tenner.

I have the anycubic mega S - which I think comes with the E3Dv5 (two of them) one I burnt out ( ended up with black stuff covering the whole nozzle / block ).After purchasing this E3Dv6 and printing off a few parts from thingverse.com I finally replaced the existing hotend with this one. So far it had been great, I've opted to use a .3 nozzle with the HE. Originally I thought the thermistor was broken as I had some wild ranging figures even when now actual hotend temp had been made, later I found that I had a soldering issue.I'll be ordering another for certain.

Losing a star due to thermistor not working (it didn't do anything at all), but I just transferred the one from the hotend I was replacing. I'm using this with a 0.3mm head on a Monoprice Mini Select, and it's working perfectly. Temperature is spot on (admittedly with my own themistor) and the printing clean.

I like the simplicity of this extruder and the ability to have the filament remote so that it does not melt causing blockages like the Anet A8 used to do, The only downside to this is that there is no mounting supplied and you have to make your own... which I did. The other thing I noticed is the nozzle and ss heat break once tightened do not seem to insert to the cooling fin all the way and this has me worried that there could be problems once I get to the stage of printing but fingers crossed that this will be ok. I also have some ideas on preheating the filament between the cooling fin and the stepper so that I can outgas the filament (Get rid of imbedded water for nylon) but we will see how it goes first.

First forray into building a 3D printer and it simply works. I wanted a 1mm nozzle and simply drilled one out and still works incredibly well. Any issues were down to me understanding 3D printing parameters etc. Like leaving the fan on all the time to keep filament cool in the head part etc

Cheap copy of an E3d V6.It's small, so would need a 10mm spacer at least to drop the nozzle to the standard height like a genuine e3dv6.In the standard machine, the part fan is lower than the nozzle so you will never be able to set bed level.The supplied fan is also extremely small maybe 20mm square max and failed after 3 prints. It's housing went out of shape so the fan couldn't spin.It also uses an old style thermo couple not a cartridge type. The wiring is really long maybe 1.5 metres which is fine if yours runs back to the mother board but mine is maybe 60mm so I had to cut and solder plugs to make it fit.Basically this fake v6 has been cannibalised to repair my original hot end

The hotend and heatsink are pretty good. The fan works but is a little loud. Not the loudest not the quietest.The thermistor however, is straight doo doo as others have said. Seems to be very very incosistent looking at the varying reviews. I just swapped it out for an alternative i had, but it is rather frustrating

This is what it is. Its a clone. but works as it should. However its 12v so take note of that if your printer is 24V. Good value for parts.
