Topic: New Ceramic Hotend
Read about this on Hack a Day and I think it looks very promising. I've seen custom hotends that extrude ceramic before and maybe someday we'll be able to print replacement hotend parts.
Re: New Ceramic Hotend
I'd like to get ahold of him and purchase one of those ceramic parts for a replacement hot end. Any idea his contact info?

I have one of these on order. I am planning on testing it out for my Bowden hot end. The only problem is that it is 2.9 inches long. Using it for a solidoodle replacement probably won't work.

Re: New Ceramic Hotend
The ubis one still has peek in it so your still limited on temp. I have one of the ceramic ones listed at the top but he still had to use a ptfe insert becaust of plastic sticking. I plan on using mine for my delta build I'm wrapping up.

Face -> Palm. I didn't see that until now. I am buying these for my company to test the quality. It didn't need to be ceramic. I actually have purchased several other hot ends as well. This was the only "ceramic" one. I would love to know how to get one made. I am looking into getting one sourced locally.
