Hi guys, I am unhappy with my current extruder+hot-end and I am after a replacement. Too many clogs and filament sips. I guess these days the best combination would be an all-metal hot-end, with all-metal extruder with gear box. I have also read that all-metal hot-ends can be problematic with PLA. how bad is that? What would you recommend this days? Printer is currently an Ord Not Hadron and I print always with 1.75mm, mostly PLA. https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,311098,311098#msg-311098 Mon, 14 Sep 2026 11:28:49 -0400 Phorum 5.2.23 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,311098,311098#msg-311098 https://reprap.org/forum/read.php?1,311098,311098#msg-311098
