What hot ends are people using nowadays? I've been happily and successfully using Printrbot Ubis hot ends but would like to start printing materials like nylon that require more heat. Is the Magma hot end any good? J-heads wouldn't take that heat, not even with a fan cooling the barrel, right?

i am still a big fan of makergears hot ends, though now i am using a qu-bd extruder and hot end, both have been good to me, but i think the makergear one is better for cleaning.

if you have a look at the more recent developments with regards to nylon : http://www.taulman3d.com/news.html

even your current ubis should be able to run the newer types of nylon, like the tglaze have a temperature range of 212c to 224C ..... i've got abs from china that has needed more than that
