Topic: Clogged nozzle on SD2

Anyone know where I can buy a new hot end/ nozzle for the SD2?  I finally figured out how to remove the acrylic, think I'm going to print a MKR5 replacement for that, but the original head and cold feed are completely clogged.  I took a drill to it and still didn't make a dent.  I think I remember that you could by a stainless steel one with better heating than the cheep aluminum ones that the SD2 came with, right?  I also know not to give solidoodle any money for a replacement part (ha!).

Any suggestions on MK4 vs. MK5 and E3D v6 vs. E3D lite6?  I'm thinking I'm going to try following this set of instructions http://www.soliwiki.com/E3D_extruder

Re: Clogged nozzle on SD2

Lite6 or V6 really depends on what filament you plan to print with.  The Lite6 is only good for filament that extrudes below 250 but the V6 is good in standard form up to 300 or much hotter with a thermo couple .vs a regular thermistor.
The MK 5 that is designed for the V6 is all you need to worry about.  There was a mount difference for the old V5 but Lite6 and V6 mount the same.
