Where to get the "witbox" extruder for the i3 hephestous
September 11, 2014 10:19PM
Hey everyone, I've been planning on building a 3d printer for my birthday. Only problem is, I can't find anything on the extruder for the i3 hephestous. If its no longer available... Could someone point me in the direction of a nice reprap printer that I can still build?
Thanks,

Well looking over the Wiki for the Hephestos almost all of the printer looks like a fairly well designed i3 with the exception of the witbox extruder and it's special mounting bracket. You should be able to swap in a Wade's with any other hot end with minimal difficulties. I did find a place selling just the hotend but it sounds like you want the complete kit.

Of the hotends that seem popular right now I would go with Prometheus hot end for a high end system (and it seems fitting to have Prometheus and Hephestos working together.). Or a actual J-head if you are going a bit cheaper.

Thanks Mike

Why not just build a different i3 variant or even a mendel90?
