Important: Some filaments like PLA may clog—read all instructions carefully to avoid print issues.
Hotend Removal
Open the magnetic cover and move it aside.
Disconnect the hotend fan and heater connectors, and remove wires from the clip.
Use a 2 mm hex key to unscrew the 2 screws near the top of the hotend’s heatsink.
Gently remove the wires from the plastic wire clip and take out the entire hotend assembly.
Prepare the New Mako Hotend
(Only if using stock electronics)
Apply thermal grease to the hotend where the heater will be inserted.
Insert the heater adapter by sliding its ears into the top of the hot block.
Insert the heater into the heater adapter.
Slide the retaining clip onto the bottom of the heater to hold it in place.
Apply grease to the thermistor and its hole, then insert the thermistor and slide the retaining clip over it.
Route wires through the heatsink slot, place thermistor wires behind heater wires, and slide the air dam over the wires.
Ensure the air dam is flush with the bottom of the heatsink.
Slide the Mako boot over the hotblock.
Attach the fan to the heatsink using the 2 mm hex key.
Final Installation
Align the complete hotend assembly so the screw holes are behind the bracket.
Insert and tighten both screws evenly. Do not overtighten.

Questions
"Bimetallic Heat Break™ technology to prevent jams, and up to 60% faster print speeds" Is this "60% faster" claim based on the printing speed with the stock Hotend that comes with Bambu?
Me again... So are the nozzles different for the CHT than the GammaMaster versions? I see the GammaMaster nozzles sold separately but not the CHT.
Hello. I am skeptical about upgrading my X1C. I just got it and it is so easy to use and prints perfectly out of the box. That being said, I love to upgrade my stuff. If I put this hot end on, will the printer AUTOMATICALLY know about the improvements and adjust accordingly? Or is that something that I have to jack with the setting for?
Looks interesting, & I would love an reliable source. What are the differences from Bambu X1E Hot Ends? Why at $129.99 am I going to have to assemble this? Thanks
Hello is this 0.4mm or 0.6mm nozzle?
I'm not seeing what size nozzle(s) are included with this order or if its just the socketed assembly and you have to buy your FIN nozzle separately.
It comes with a 0.4 nozzle, the 0.6 and 0.8 are separate.
I'm not seeing the nozzles for sale. Are they different for the CHT or do they just use the GammaMaster nozzles as well?
