In addition to this and the mount, the E3D also requires running power to its fan and updating the firmware.

Hunter Green's write up is excellent and many would agree it's a worthwhile upgrade, but know what you're in for.

I don't think there's anything that won't require a change to the mount, but I could be wrong.

I am looking for a replacement extruder and hot end assembly for the Solidoodle 2. I'd like something decent and off the shelf which I can source in the UK and which will more or less drop straight in without modification to mount/cabling.
Any ideas ?
Mark
