Arcol.hu Hotend and Prusa Compatibility.

Hi Everyone,

I was just wondering if anyone has used the V3 Arcol Hotend yet in a Prusa, and if it is compatible with the original Wade's extruder or if it needs to be modified? As far as I can tell it natively mounts onto the X carriage, but as for the actual extruder, I have no idea...

anyway,
Thanks!

Hi Arcol's hot end doesn't fit directly to the original Wades. The Wades however that's included in the prusa build files has been modified for direct fit to Arcol's hot end.

any filament block that says BFB hotend on it will work. there's on in thingiverse that works decent... the alignment holes in the prusa repo for the wades block is better, they both work. the hot end fits perfectly through the carriage.
