Should I use Teflon tape on  the barrel threads? I had noticed some leaking on the
old one.

We have them in the store now.

It would be good if your delivery fee were not insane...

I just swapped in a Ubis hot end from a Printrbot that I luckily had nearby. Hacked the connectors together using some pcb pin headers which worked pretty well and I didn't want to permanently modify either set of connections. I'll just wait and either order the brass barrel when I have the cash but probably just save for a E3D...

If you have a tool shop, doing it yourself is the best (and cheapest) way as M6 threaded rod is cheap in meter lengths.

You're paying a machine shop to drill a hole in threaded rod, plus the cost of the rod itself. Part volumes aren't high enough to drive costs lower.

are you prepared to drill it thou??
that is the hardest part...

Humm I'm assuming I'd need some sort of drill press do accurately drill out a threaded rod, bolt, or something similar...



Makergear is selling them for $7.50 it looks like, probably before shipping. Wonder if there's a cheaper source out there.

During the process I managed to strip the threaded brass barrel. It's such a small part of the extruder, I was wondering if it's something I can buy locally, but maybe under a different name.

If not, is there a good place to find a cheap replacement online that's compatible with the rest of the Solidoodle hot end (PEEK and nozzle)?

Really need to save up and just get a E3D hot end... but in the meantime... a brass barrel that I can find at a hardware or fastener store. Think it's possible?
