I just realised that this machine is still under warranty so I won't be doing anything to it for now.

It should work on what I have now if I want, but it will also work on what I want to build over the winter.   http://e3d-online.com/Prusa-i3-Upgrade-Kit

I am assuming that the Wanhao is 12 volt, just in case I decide to put it in there.

Then there can be independent of the manufacturer problems with the Jam, that has not been satisfactorily resolved. We therefore now use Coated Heatbraks and nozzles minimize this problem. But this is only necessary in the processing of PLA.

check this page for authorized resellers: http://e3d-online.com/Genuine-Check

For US based outlets, I can highly recommend either PRINTiT Industries (fully assembled) or Filastruder (diy kits).

The E3D's must be popular as they are out of stock in most places just now.

3mm filament was kind of a standard 5 or 6 years ago, but most companies have already swapped over to 1.75 last last few years.

For now, I am going to go with the MK10 for the convenience of it. I am, however, going to build a new machine over the winter and it will have the E3D and Titan combo.

What is/ or is there any advantage to using 3mm filament over the 1.75? I need to start making some of these decisions so I can get all the bits in.

The only complaint I am aware of with the ED3 is the older models reqired the installation of a thermocouple a bit fiddly to say the leaste. But the new versions have a cartridge thermocouple that solves the Issue.


Also consider how you will mount the new hot end to the extruder you may want to add a titan as well as an ED3v6

I added an ED3 and titan to one of my machines.
You will have to mod the firmware for any similar mod.

I would like to try some different filaments that seem to need an all metal hot end. I have done some research and at the moment it seems to come down to two ... The Mark10 (direct replacement) and the Promethius V2.

The Mk10 of course is pretty much plug and play and gets rid of the PTFE tube. The Promethius is a one piece tube that seems to be adjustable to several set ups.

Not sure which one would be best.
