E3D E3D All-metal v6 HotEnd Full Kit 3.00mm Direct (24v)

The v6 HotEnd Full Kit from E3D has been redesigned for your convenience from the ground up! This new hot end contains the same signature high-temperature performance for high-temp printing, as well as increased functionality for printing soft and flexible filaments.

Our inventory of this kit has transitioned to the new cartridge-type format for temperature sensors. This kit contains the new thermistor cartridge and heater block.

The v6 HotEnd allows you to print a wide variety of materials, from soft and flexible to sturdy and strong. This is possible due to the PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) liner tube through the hotend that you can extend into your extruder - this gives the ability to add the confinement and constraint needed to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments. This technology opens new doors for your 3D printing aspirations.

With High-Temperature Performance, you can print with high-temp materials like Polycarbonate and Nylon - this also eliminates HotEnd meltdown failures that are common with PTFE designs. Even though the v6 has a PTFE liner inside the hotend the liner is never subjected to high temperatures so there is no risk of damaging the liner through overheating. Basically, this design is really in-tune with all the elements, so your prints will come out crisp and accurate.

The v6 has cut back on a bunch of bulk. This clean-cut version's overall length is only 62mm, and there are significant reductions in the X/Y dimensions by using the new injection molded fan duct.

Are you eager to start printing right away? Good. So are we - and that's why here at MatterHackers we praise the v6 HotEnd. No adhesives, Kapton tape, or soldering is needed to get started. The new v6 simply locks into place with a little screw, and the updated cartridge style thermistor makes installing the hotend (as well as removing) a quick and smooth process compared to earlier methods.The parts of the hotend just screw together, and the fan duct naturally clips in - this can be manipulated in different ways to suit your setup preference.

The v6 has kept its vivid thermal transition that promotes high-quality printing - this is a standard requirement with all E3D accessories and hotends. A sharp thermal break gives excellent control over material output, which provides more precise starts and stops during your extrusion. Essentially, as a printing aficionado, this means you will have a more authentic and keen print.

Everyone likes to have different options to fuel their creative fire. Well, another reason why the v6 HotEnd is at the head of its class is that it has multiple nozzle sizes to choose from, thus your printing dreams are limitless. The default nozzle is 0.4mm, which produces fantastic prints with a great level of speed, ease, and resolution. Collecting a plethora of nozzle sizes increases your ability to explore and experiment with different filaments and extrusion settings.

The printing options are endless with multiple nozzles!

Included:

Metal parts:

  • 1 Aluminium Heatsink
  • 1 Stainless Steel heat break
  • 1 Brass Nozzle (0.4mm)
  • 1 Aluminium Heater Block
  • 1 100K Semitec NTC thermistor (new cartridge-style)
  • 1 24v 30W Heater Cartridge
  • 1 24v 30x30x10mm fan
  • 4 Plastfast30 3.0 x 16 screws to attach the fan to the fan duct
  • 1 M3x3 socket dome screw and M3 washer to clamp thermistor
  • 1 M3x10 socket dome screw to clamp the heater block around the heater cartridge
  • 1 Fan Duct (Injection Moulded PC)
  • 1 Silicone Sock

You can find assembly instructions here.

The new Bowden coupling system sits entirely within the hotend, which means that there is no need for two separate 1.75mm products for Bowden users and Direct users. Instead, it has a 1.75mm Universal product that has the internal couplers installed. Direct users just use a short length of tubing to line the filament down into the hotend, and Bowden users can simply use a longer piece of tubing with a coupler to fix the other end to their extruder.

Will the E3D hot end work with my printer/Which E3D kit do I need?
 
Yes, depending on how much work you are willing to do. The E3D is not a plug and play replacement for the original hot end on any printer we are aware of. The installation will require some modifications to your machine. We currently have installation guides for the following printers, and the correct E3D kit is listed next to it:
 
If your printer is not on the list, you should still look through the guides to get an idea of what is involved. Here are the general steps:
  1. Find a way to attach the hot end. This usually involves printing some kind of mounting piece.
  2. Modify your firmware configuration.
  3. Find a way to power the fan.
 
Here are some questions you should ask yourself when trying to determine if the E3D will work with your printer:
  • How does my hot end attach to the printer?
  • Can I modify my printer's firmware?
  • If you want to use the Chimera, Cyclops, or Kraken, you must also consider how many motor drivers, thermistor inputs, and heater outputs your controller board has.
 
Here are some questions you should ask when choosing which E3D hot end to buy:
  • Does my printer use 1.75 or 3 mm filament?
  • Does my printer run on 12 V or 24 V, or some crazy combination of the two (i.e. a 24 V PSU with the hot end throttled down to 12 V using PWM)?
  • Is my printer a direct drive or Bowden setup?

Looking to upgrade an Ender 3. Will this work? I have already upgraded to direct drive on the Ender 3. I will check if I have a 12v or a 24v going to the hot end.

Will this work for a TAZ 6? If so, is it the same instructions as the TAZ 5?

Would it be possible to operate the hotend without connecting it to my printer? What kind of power supply, cabels / connections would I need? I'd like to test , how good it can handle the material (PVDF) before installing it into the printer.

What are the benefits of 24v over 12v? I currently have a 24v power supply to run the bed on my printer, and a 12v supply for the board, and hot end, but it would be easy enough to add another relay off the hot end output to run 24v.

Do you have instruction just for taz5? Aslo what else do i need to bolt to taz 5 ? And last what asorted nozzsles would you recomend

Why don't you just include a 5V fan instead of 24V? Then the instructions wouldn't have to reroute the "blower" wires.

Do you have a setup to use dual print heads on a taz5, either 1.75 or 3.0?
