if you get the new style cartridge thermistors, they come with a connector on a short pigtail, then all you need is the other side of that connector to run to the controller board...

then all you would have to do is figure out a way to connect the heater cartridge wires... the XT-30 RC battery connectors are quite nice for that aspect of things... small enough to not get in the way, but plenty sturdy enough for the application. just a simple matter of snipping the wires at a convenient location and soldering in the connectors.

no need to change the fan or the heater block.

Thanks that what I was thinking, anyway the lite version is cheap, so I'm gonna do that.

I just need to figure out a system to switch plug and play the heater fan and termistor ....

i believe the heatsink is different as well, not just the heatbreak (threaded part)
they may look the same on the outside, but the internal drilling is done differently between the two

IIRC the heat break need to be changed so no without ordering the needed parts to change the ED3

Hopefully one of the experts will clarify this.

I have the edv6 1.75 and by mistake i bought 2 rollsl of 3mm filament (no turnng back)

I noticed that the diameter of the extruder was bigger. can i change the PTFE tubing and use the 3mm filament ?
on a temp basis.

thanks you.
