I agree in parts but the current generation of developers took their inspiration from earlier designs where the original creators never really saw the financial gains like the startups of todays. The price of the current genuine hotends are way over priced on average $70 no matter who from its becoming disproportional cost to a reprap and hotends shouldn't be costing more than a set of steppers.Quote
"cloners" puts the original developers out of business.
true but it aint friendly.Quote
Good luck with the knock-off hot-end. Not all knock-offs work and supporting the "cloners" puts the original developers out of business.
so what you saying floyd you'll not advise but criticise because someone used a clone " and here me thinking Reprap was here to promote home 3D printing and not monuments to capitalismQuote
Nope doesnt look like it. Looks like a cheap E3D knock off. Good luck with that.

I did advise, I told him I didnt think it would work. They are totally different.
Also I also just stated "Good luck with that" because I see too many people buying these cheap ones and having nothing but issues. Others that bought the true units dont have issues.

Reprap printers are cheap. They are normally bodged together and barely work but they are printers none the less. I just dont like condemning people into buying the cheaper stuff and struggling with it. The hot end is the heart of the machine, its the one thing I wouldnt cheap out on.
Again, to "DaGameFace" no it will not work.

Currently my hot end attaches to the cold end with threaded rod by that j head doesn't seem to have thread at the top.

That's Harsh!! Saying that "RepRap Printers are cheap and normally bodged together" It's what started the whole 3d printing thing off. What printer do you use
