Choosing the Best E3D Hotend // Comparison Guide
Alec Richter
Sep 8, 2021
Industry leader E3D has many variants of their top-seller E3D V6 hotend. Take a look at where each one shines and which might be best for you.
What really put E3D on the map was their purpose built 3D printer hotends. These were designed for 3D printing’s needs and not repurposed from other hardware components. Now, there are multiple variations on the sixth version of their hotend (the E3D V6), each intended for increasingly higher flow rates to really get filament flowing. Almost every hotend is 1.75mm or 2.85mm filament compatib...

E3D HotEnd Comparison Guide
Ryan Lutz
Jun 4, 2017
E3D's first-rate HotEnds will expand your 3D printer's capabilities - learn the differences between these dynamic printer components.
Often imitated, but never duplicated, E3D HotEnds are the result of fine engineering. They are the envy of hot end makers everywhere because E3D has somehow found the winning design, machined to perfection. Buy an off-brand replication on eBay, and chances are good that you’ll regret it due to the seller’s inability to recreate the exact specifications that E3D has gone to such lengths...
