Our new compact hotend features an efficient heatsink with a stainless steel heat break, allowing for optimal cooling and a smaller heater for faster prints. Warm up times are also significantly faster at 200C under a minute with our brand new heater design.

In addition, we’ve added the ability to switch nozzles with some great new micro nozzle designs coming soon, including a sapphire gem nozzle for abrasive filaments.

Benefits:

Designed to be light for fast prints.
Ships pre-assembled.
Cylindrical heater for optimal and symmetrical heating of material.
Thermistor mounted directly in the nozzle for more realistic temperature reading of the material as it comes out the hotend.
Small, compact fan.
Uses the new Semitec 104NT-4-R025H42G thermistor.
A second thermistor can be added to the nozzle for dual thermistor setup.
Mounts using 2 x M3 screws (not included) instead of a groove, which is not the most secure method.

If you want to use the hotend for a direct drive rather than a bowden setup, you need to remove the push-fit and insert a small PTFE liner or you can use a spacer. The heatsink has a chamfer under the push-fit to ensure your filament transitions smoothly into the channel if you decide to use it as direct drive.

Technical specifications:

Maximum recommended operating temperature: 270 Celsius
Runs on 12V
For 1.75mm filament
Aluminum heatsink
Stainless steel 303 heat break
Heater resistance: 3.6 – 4.4 ohms (You need to auto PID tune the heater. For smoothieware firmware this is easy to do with the auto-PID tuning settings)
0.4mm brass tip with dual thermistor capabilities
Thermistor connector: 2-pin 2.5mm JST RCY Female Connector.
Heater connector: Molex #0436400201 Female connector

Watch the video below to see how well the heat is contained under the heat break for a sharp transition of temperature! Note that the overlap of the hotend and the thermal image is slightly mis-aligned due to the FLIR camera being too close to the hotend (the camera is supposed to be at least a foot away for the two to align).
