🔥 Enhanced Hotend for Creality Ender 3 Printers Review

This hotend is supplied as a kit without instructions. Even without instructions I just looked at my stock hotend on my Ender 3 and assembled everything in a similar way. After installing the parts into my printer, I cut the PTFE tubing to remove the part that went to the standard thermal break (I use a direct drive extruder, the Bowden tubing would not need to be cut with a standard extruder). On first heat up, I noticed that it reaches printing temperature quicker than a standard hot end…

I decided not to buy MicroSwiss and try this version first. I had a bad clog and burned the ibex on my E3V2 and figured a new hot end would be better than reusing the stock setup. This block is significantly shorter than the stock hot end. I'm lucky that the Satsana channel I'm currently using barely works with this hot end. The channels blow neatly onto the thread/model, but now they're just a hair above the nozzle. Time will tell if I can continue to use this particular channel setup, but the

For systems with ABL sensors, e.g. B. inductive/capacitive, this probably isn't a big deal, just slide it up or down the required distance. The cable tie method is probably a good way to reconfigure the sensor. With BL touch sensors, it's not that simple. If the mounting bracket cannot be moved up or down, you will need to design and print a new bracket. Otherwise the sensor will trigger too early resulting…
