Take a look through the Wiki pages - http://www.soliwiki.com/ - there are instructions and links for updating there.

it is strongly recommended to upgrade the power supply as the stock ones are a bit under-powered.

Ski52 are you saying that any E3D hotend thermistor will work? If the firmware needs to be flashed will you point me to where I can get the correct firmware? As for upgrading the powersupply I'm not ready to do that yet. The reason Im doing the hotend is because the guy I bought the printer from installed the SD2 Jigsaw 3d printed replacement the hotend is so loose it keeps causing layer shifts every 5th or 6th layer.

Can't get to my power supply to tell you the name - something 'Light'.  Mine is mounted under the printer, and I haven't seen it for over 5 years, quite reliable.  Someone will be along that can tell you the name.  The stock SD2 thermistor can be reprogramed with a firmware update, which by the way is pretty much required when you move from the stock extruder to an E3D to realize it's potential.  You need to consider a SSR (Solid State Relay) to drive the whole works.  Not hard to do, plenty of instructions available on the Wiki portion of this forum.
Good Luck!!!

I am going to upgrade to a E3D v6 and want to get as close as possible. Thanks in advance
