Genuine E3D V6 HotEnd Kit for 3D Printer: High Performance 3D Printing (3mm) (12V, Bowden)

Superb extruder, as the others from E3D. Nothing to say more, just excellent for all the filaments

I really wanted to love this hot end but it's just not as good as everyone would have you believe and here's why:1. Heater cartridge went straight to bin, Struggles to produce even 240 C and so slow to ramp up (I also have hot end connected straight to PSU by huge MOSFET, so no problems with power delivery) I picked up 60W no-name brand unit and that works great, produces high temperatures and fast. This E3D heater is just too weak, turn on fans and there goes temperature, it doesn't even have connector so you have to disassemble whole cabling to put it in. (Like seriously? For this price?) BAD HEATER!2. The screws that are included are of terrible quality, I put them in and that was it, as soon as I tried to take them out I stripped the hex head and it was stuck, had to resort to Dremel to get the screw out, 60 pounds for hot end and you get screws like this? Sorry but that's unacceptable for product in this price range! Why not M3 screw with bigger hex hole and cylindrical shape so you can grip it with vice if you strip it?3. Bowden tube, alright I like that the inside diameter of Bowden tube is tight on filament, good, no complaints there but the OUTSIDE diameter is too big! You stuck it in the hot end and that's it it stays there, no chance to take it out with hand, you need two sets of plyers one to hold the locking thing down and other to pull the tube out. And I'm supposed to do this every time I need cold pull? That's mad! I needed to grind down the end of the tube to make it release easier so I could perform a routine maintenance maneuver.4. Worst for last, this thing clogs and clogs and clogs, the fan on the heatsink is just not powerful enough, the whole heatsink heats up to high temperatures (Burning to touch) and filament swells up and that's end of the game you have horrible jam on your hands...Basically to make this work I need to modify almost every aspect of this hot end, which is mad, considering this thing disguises itself as a premium product when what it really is, is few well machined parts accompanied by bunch of cheap Chinses POS parts that are no better than what you get with 10 pound hot ends. SHAME on you E3D...
