What is E3D HotEnd?
The E3D Lite6 is a reliable high-quality 3D printer hotend that is very low cost and meets the budget for anyone just starting out in 3D printing. For ABS and PLA 3D printing filament, as well as flexible filaments, E3D Lite6 hot-ends perform amazingly well.
What is E3D?
E3D is a piping design software that integrated the good features of PDMS, AutoCAD, and SP3D into a single module. Developed by AVEVA, The software is designed for a powerful 3-Dimensional design solution experience.
Is V6 all-metal?
The V6 is E3D’s flagship HotEnd featuring an all-metal design with high-temperature performance. The V6 is an incredibly versatile HotEnd allowing a wide variety of filaments to be used as standard. The benefit of an all-metal design means the V6 can comfortably reach 285°C with the supplied thermistor.
What is a hot end?
The hotend is the component of a 3D printer that melts the filament for extrusion and helps maintain a consistent and accurate temperature for successful prints.
What is MK8 extruder?
MK8 was the all new dual extruder hotend setup on the MakerBot Replicator. The cooling bar was thicker than the MK7 but the same all metal thermal barrier and supposedly, the MK8 has slightly different nozzle geometry internally and externally.
