E3D V6 PRINT HEAD EXTRUDER

The E3D-v6 has been redesigned from the ground up. E3D has invested a lot of time and used all of their experience to design E3D’s latest and greatest HotEnd. If you would like to know more about the design process, check out this blog post.

Print the Widest Range of Materials Possible.

Building on their signature high temperature performance that allows you to print high temperature materials E3D has now focussed on adding increased functionality with soft and flexible filaments. By providing a PTFE liner tube through the hotend that you can extend into your extruder this gives the ability to add the confinement and constraint needed to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments like NinjaFlex, FlexPLA and FlexPolyester. This opens up a huge range of new opportunities for your printer.

High Temperature Performance.

With no PEEK or PTFE in hot regions of the HotEnd you can reach 300C with the supplied thermistor. By swapping a thermistor for a thermocouple (may require additional electronics) you can reach over 400C.

This not only allows you to print extremely high temperature materials like Polycarbonate and Nylons but also eliminates HotEnd meltdown failures associated with PEEK/PTFE designs. Although the latest v6 hotend has a PTFE liner inside the hotend this liner is never subjected to high temperatures so there is no risk of damaging the liner through overheating.

High Quality Printing.

E3D has kept their acerb thermal transition that gives the high quality printing performance users have come to expect from E3D hotends. A acerb thermal break gives better control over filament output so you get more immediate start and stops when extruding as well as retracts that are more effective in combatting ooze. For the user this means sharper more accurate prints that have less stringing, oozing or blobs on the prints.

Easy Mounting and Community Support.

E3D has kept the same 16 mm Groovemount dimensions from v5 to ensure that as much compatibility is maintained as possible with the extensive range of community designed mounts.
