Hi again,
After a bit more internet research i now think the E3Dv6 doesnt fit into my prusa i3 hephestos as this design has no bowden extruder but an extruder which is directed mounted to the print head.....
Is there any hephestos specific hotend i can use plug and play, or do i have to modify my entire printer?
Thanks snd regards
David

I'm using the Prometheus V2 and it has been awesome. It has an adjustable cool zone for speed and or accuracy. One piece stainless nozzle with ptfe liner. I did add a second fan so that one blows through the fins and one sucks. Has never jammed internally with PLA or ABS. Keep in mind also that if your new hotend is at all different in length you may need to print a new Z endstop mount that will adjust to give it clearance.

Thanks for your tips Elwood127 and blahhh10.
I really like the design of that new designed x carrige and will certaily print it out to test it!
My only issue is that my hotend is broke and i can't use my Printer....thats why i looked for an easy replacement (with improved quality) for the stock hotend of the prusa i3 hephestos.
As I'm back from vacation now, i measured the diameter of the original hotend, which is pluged into the print head: 6mm.
Isnt there any hot end available that can be used for this printer without modifications?
If not i need to get Adapters printed to use one of the already proposed hot ends, but no clue how or where....
Regads
