It is looking that way. I got an all metal one a few weeks ago and am very happy with it (I just print PLA).Quote

This hot-end design looks interesting being all-metal, not requiring forced cooling, and usable up to 300C. I wonder if this is the way of the future?

I don't know what makes the difference between those that can get it to work and those that can't.

I had issues with my hot end blocking, so after reading this i decided to replace the liner, and behold, near perfect printsQuote

The only times I have had to replace them is when they get blocked by contaminated filament. I think the massive pressure generated distorts the PTFE liner, so even when they are cleaned out they don't always perform properly.
