Thanks for the info about 3D hubs!
I am going to order some heater cartridges hoping to save some money and see if it works out. If not it's going to be a E3D

I wanted an E3Dv6 but now that I can't print any of the fittings it's not really possible. I was thinking about getting the replacement head from XYZ but paying $100 for something that I will have to hack up and won't work as well as an E3D really sucks.
Also Is the extruder listed under the 1.0a parts really the newer PLA compatible / 1.1 extruder?
Has anyone replaced the heater cartridge itself? I haven't been able to find anything about that anywhere
Thanks so much

If you know which one you want you could probably get somebody here to print it simply by asking. They may charge a small fee but then again maybe not. I would but my machine is still in process of being tuned after having the main board swapped out.

you could try to order a print of the parts from anyone around you by using 3Dhubs and locate a local 3D printer.
