Sounds like the Universal/Direct is for you, plus a threaded bowden coupling ($39 total).


Ended up with the Bowden version. By far the best hot end I've ever used!

Plan to order the V6 heatsink and heat break for my second Lite6 I just ordered to see how the E3D V6 compares. I honestly expect the Lite6 to meet or exceed the V6's print quality but it'll still be nice to have for higher temperature materials either way.

Discussion]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/94355/#p94355 Just about to order one of these for my Mini Kossel. What is the difference between the Bowden version and universal? I already have 10 feet of PTFE tubing for 1.75mm filament.

Its really not much of a "kit", you just need a 1.75mm heatbreak and a 1.75mm heatsink. Both of those parts have been and will be available for a long time.

that is kind of what I was thinking, but thank you very much for taking the time to answer. smile

on E3D-online site they mention an "upgrade kit" to upgrade the lite to a full blown v6
- what would that kit include?
- what is the availability of a kit?
- and what would the cost be?

VERY seriously thinking about pulling the trigger on a Lite6, and the answers to the above questions will be the deciding factor
(and yes, the purchase would be made thru Filastruder. wink )

63 is the correct answer! PM me for your coupon code, or if you don't have a use for it I can do a coupon code for $35 off anything in the store.

D'oh! I'm such an idiot! How did I miss that post?
