Differences with the new model.
Hi Reg,
in your opinion, what is the difference in terms of printing? Besides of course the fact that the hotend is lighter (which is good for the smartrap, given its design).
The "cold zone" seems shorter, maybe also the "melt zone"? What would this imply when printing?

Genie has a cute little brother!
Nice evolution Reg!
Less weight and more print space.

Interested here, but the shipping costs are terrible. The calculator says it is almost $15.00. Is that Australian or US dollars?

I wasn't complaining about the prices. And I apologize if I came off that way. Your hot end is a very good price. I was merely wondering if the prices were stated in Australian or U.S. dollars. Even with the price of the shipping, your product is very much in line with all of the others.

Reg,
I will be making at least three new printers, one for each of my children and one extra for myself.
I often find myself waiting for a print to finish and that I want to try something new out
One of the hotends will go to my existing printer and the last one will be a spare.

Hi Reg,
With your hotend do you offer the option of the regular cooling fan for the top of the hotend and also the option of cooling the printed part for bridging etc.?
Regards
Mike

I had a look at the I3 on your website. I dont think fitting the 80mm fan like that would be an option on the smartrap due to the space needed.

I use a 80 mm fan like that on the Smartrap and there is always a way to make a fancy fan duct. If you need to..
Or do something with bernoulli in mind.

The lazy way: a 2mm aluminum wire to hold the fan. It can be attached anywhere on the X arm and it allows re-adjusting the fan in all the positions and directions.

Hi Reg,
Genie Mk 2 ordered.
I found a fan at [www.thingiverse.com] and it worked well on my Jhead lite for cooling the hotend and the part.
But i want to upgrade anyway as I sometimes have issues with the extruded plastic not coming out straight down and it tries to curl up the side of the nozzle.
Looking forward to trying the new Genie Mk 2 when it arrives.
Regards
Mike

I have added a section on my website showing how to re-assemble a Genie MK2 hotend, just in case someone needs to know how to do it correctly.
The link is on the hotend page, part way down the page.
Thanks Reg. I have to admit that the link is not that easy to find...
