For that price go buy a genuine E3d, which that is not.

Re: E3D J head hot end

yaa in my time involved with the 3d printing community I have seen the one you linked to:

1. clog numerous times without rhyme or reason
2. break at the heatbreak
3. catch fire and melt, again without rhyme or reason

stick to the genuine E3D. The Lite6 is great as wardjr points out, $35 instead of $80.

Re: E3D J head hot end

Awesome. I knew clones were prone to clogging and other issues, I just had no idea how to tell them apart. Thanks, guys

Re: E3D J head hot end

Re: E3D J head hot end

Order an MK5 right form filastruder they are cheap. There is a difference between the V5 and V6 so you will want to make sure you are printing the correct one.
What printer do you have?

Re: E3D J head hot end

You will be absolutely amazed at the difference. Consider buying a HobbedGoblin while ordering from filastruder. With the E3d Miore will be more pronounced and a smaller drive gear will help reduce that. Then read up on the required firmware change in the WIKI. If you have questions just ask and I'll be happy to walk you through it.
What control board is on your SD3? That's the first question to be answered.

Re: E3D J head hot end

It should be printed right on there or you can post a picture and we will tell you.
The steppers are removable on the Sanguinololu and are not on the PrinterBoard. This will tell me what links to provide to get you the right set of instructions.

Re: E3D J head hot end

That's a printrboard.

Also, lol to "risk of electric shock". The highest voltage on that board is 12 volts.

Re: E3D J head hot end

You'll want to read through the WIKI Sections some is out of date yet still applicable.
http://www.soliwiki.com/Updating_Solidoodle_Firmware Pay close attention to the Printerboard section. The firmware is in there but just in case https://github.com/ozadr1an/Solidoodle- … in_v1_beta
Reading through the e3d section will at least help you to understand most of what is involved. http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder
You'll want to follow the complete V6 hot end assembly instructions http://wiki.e3d-online.com/wiki/Main_Page
Hope that helps

Re: E3D J head hot end

An extended Z tab would help. Especially if you ever choose to add on a Volcano.
Also, stock up on 3mm screws and nuts. I made far too many runs to Home Depot when I first upgraded to the Lawsy carriages.

The Z tab I meantioned shouldn't be mandatory for the v6. If needed, you *could* just flip the screw. But only crazy people do that

Re: E3D J head hot end

You want to go with the MK6 that wardr revised. If you search Solidoodle E3D v6 in Thingiverse, you will find multiple designs.
The profiles are identical between the Lite6 and the v6
