Re: Update on the E3D All Metal Hotend (Now finally shipping!) 
[Lots of pictures] - 6 years ago
Extruder dialled in, and I must say it works incredibly well. Very smooth prints, very detailed. Still struggling a bit with ABS (delaminated like nothing...), but working on getting that fixed. In all, quite happy with the hot end, just ordered some spare parts (not needed, but wanted to order a .6 mm nozzle anyhow, so added a heatbreak just in case...)by anixie - General

Installed and first print made. Works like a charm. The old head (stock K8200) did not like ABS at all. The E3D seems to love the stuff. Had small issues in the beginning, purely due to software settings (eg Slicer was still set for a 05 mm nozzle...) Then the small drive cog on the extruder decided to start slipping on its engine axle. Know issue of that printer. New hole drilled and tapped. Uby anixie - General

Now still waiting for my stock replacemlent hot end to show up so I can first print the mount for the E3D and then swap to E3D Still need to add a bigger PSU to power it though, since I am also swby anixie - General

@Kuraasu, Thanks, I will check the German reprap forum... Looking forward to the stl files for the adapter too (I ordered a stock replacement head from Velleman just to be sure...)by anixie - General

Has anybody ever tried one of these hot ends on a Velleman K8200 ? (think not, search returned nothing...) I ordered a hotend to replace the one from my printer that I broke during re-assembly.... The only real (small) challenge I see, is mounting it to the extruder driver. It is about the same length as the stock extruder, but the original mounting plate will probably not fit...
