E3D HotEnd Kits

Fully original, fully inclusive kits with electronics

E3D HotEnd v6 Full Kit

Universal (Direct) 12v or 24v, 1.75mm or 3.0mm
Universal (Bowden) 12v or 24v, 1.75mm or 3.0mm

For assembly guidelines, go to E3D v6 Assembly

Prints the Widest Range of Materials Possible

High temperature performance allows you to print high temperature materials

Increased functionality with soft, flexible filaments

Has a PTFE liner tube which can be extended into your extruder to give the ability to add the confinement and constraint you need to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments such as FlexPLA, FlexPolyester andNinjaFlex

The PTFE liner is not subjected to high temperatures and will not melt

Note: Only the 1.75mm Direct and Bowden have a full liner. The 3mm Bowden has a partial lining. The 3mm Direct has no liner.

High Temperature Performance

Can reach 300° C with the supplied thermistor or if you use a thermocouple you can reach 400° C

Can print extremely high temperature materials like nylons and polycarbonate

HeaterBlock provides the fastest heat up times and most responsive temperature control

New thermistor placement - get the most accurate temperature readings with the fastest response - Go from 20° C to 200° C in 65 seconds - Keep the hotend within 0.5° C of your set temperature

Reduced Bulk and Z-Height

Overall length is 62mm

Significant reduction in bulk in the X/Y dimension because of the new injection molded fan duct

Easy to Assemble and Maintain

Assembly needs no Kapton tape or other adhesive

Thermistor simply clamps into place with a small screw, high temperature glass sleeves are used to insulate the thermistor legs

Solder free ferrules make quick and easy electrical connections to the thermistor legs

Most parts simply screw together

Fan duct clamps into place and can be oriented in different directions to suit your setup

High Quality Printing

Sharper, more accurate prints with less stringing, oozing or blobs because our sharp thermal transition gives better control over filament output which allows more immediate start and stops as well as retracts

Reliable

New manufacturing process for the heatbreaks gives a quality surface finish, reducing the force needed to restart extrusion which helps reduce forces during frequent and long retractions like those in Bowden systems

Internal shape of the nozzles is redesigned to reduce pressure needed to extrude which results in increased reliability and better print quality

Universal (with Bowden add-on) 12v or 24v, 1.75mm

For assembly guidelines, go to E3D Lite6 Assembly

Lower cost, more modest specifications, yet reliable, great option for beginners and those on a budget

1.75 filamant

Max temp - up to 240°C

Speed - 20-50mms/s

Use with ABS or PLA filament

Works well with flexible materials like NinjaFlex

Not suitable for use with high performance engineering plastics like Nylon, Polycarbonate, and ColorFabb Carbon-Fiber XT

Slightly shorter effective melt-zone than v6 means more modest print speeds but completely adequate for all but fastest 3D printers

New stainless steel heat sink replaces the previous two component system of a stainless heat-break (which are extremely expensive to manufacture) and the aluminum heatsink. This makes the Lite6 slightly heavier (22 g).

Metal bodied construction - Robust and tolerant of accidents. Virtually no chance of breaking. Tolerant of overheating, unlike PEEK bodies. (PTFE liner may be damaged by the heat but is inexpensive and easy to replace.)

30 mm ball bearing cooling fan

Polycarbonate fan duct

Highly optimized nozzles and heater blocks

Uses standard v6 nozzles

Can be upgraded to Volcano

E3D Volcano Eruption Pack 1.75 mm

See E3D Volcano Assembly Instructions and Specifications

$49.95

1.75 mm Volcano Pack - Print bigger, stronger, faster.

The Volcano Eruption Pack is an add on for the E3D HotEnd, fully compatible with all E3D HotEnds except Cycolps. Not only will it will increase the speed of printing, it also will increase the layer adhesion. Filament bonds with greatly improved strength resulting in extremely strong parts which feel much more solid than standard prints. If your machine is correctly calibrated, you can still hit part accuracies of ± 0.1 mm.

The kit has all parts needed to upgrade to Volcano, including electronics and fixings. The Eruption Pack includes the full range of nozzle sizes:

0.60 mm
0.80 mm
1.00 mm
1.20 mm

J Head HotEnd Kit

Original, Made by the Inventor
Not Chinese Knock-Off

For 1.75 mm or 3.0 mm Filament

(May be tan or black)

INCLUDES

5.6 Ohm Resistor

100K Thermistor
Thermistor specs

Teflon Tubing for
Resistor and
Thermistor

Lightweight. Prints fast

Prints reliably with both ABS and PLA.
(PLA may require a small fan to
provide air-flow through the
cooling vents which are milled
in the sides of the nozzle holder.)

Easily interfaces with the most popular
RepRap extruders, such as
Wade's Extuder and Greg Frost's
Hinged Accessible Extruder

Simple design. Number of custom
machined parts is kept to a minimum.

Resistor is used as a heater. No need to
wrap nichrome wire or to bake a
heater core.

Heat transmission is improved because
there is no thermal junction where
a separate heater would screw
onto the nozzle.
