The Spider isn’t too far removed from the stock Ender 3 hot end in looks and assembly.Ĭreality has removed the inner PTFE tubing and introduced a copper alloy heating block for faster heating, a stainless steel heat break, and a tight throat tube with a low roughness finish to help retraction and filament flow.ĭue to a larger footprint than the stock hot end, installation involves 3D printing an appropriately-sized fan cover or otherwise a gasket if you want a simpler option. While we’d suggest avoiding such speeds if surface finish and detail matter, the Spider certainly improves print quality at higher-than-average speeds when using staples like ABS and PLA.
While the circumstances under which you’d want to push the Ender 3 that far are limited, the Creality Spider High-Temperature Hot End capably prints all types of filament, including the most demanding like Nylon, metal-filled, and PC.Ĭreality also throws around ‘worry-free high-speed printing’ up to 250 mm/s as a major selling point.
The hot end is also somewhat unique in that Creality says it can reach a maximum temperature of 500☌. In line with the company’s longstanding commitment to affordability, the Creality Spider High-Temperature Hot End is among the more affordable options out there, priced at $49. With third-party manufacturers like E3D and Micro Swiss making quite the splash in the Ender 3-compatible hot end space, it was only a matter of time before Creality swooped in with their own premium offering, the Creality Spider High-Temperature Hot End.
#HEMERA ENDER 3 V2 UPGRADE#
Ender 3 Compatibility: Ender 3, Ender 3 Pro, Ender 3 V2Īnother top pick among Ender 3 owners who’ve taken the upgrade route, the E3D V6 All-Metal Hot End represents a standard for printer components thanks to the company’s focus on high-quality precision machining to deliver durable and versatile hot ends.Īs an all-metal hot end, the E3D V6 hits 300☌ with ease, opening the door to materials like Nylon.Į3D also offers the option of a copper heater block and hardened nozzle to print even more demanding materials like PC, Nylon, and PEEK.You can also swap in a hardened steel nozzle to extend filament compatibility to exotic and abrasive options like NylonX, carbon fiber, and NylonG.Īs the Micro Swiss All-Metal Hot End requires no modifications to the Ender 3 or additional mounts to install, it’s among the easiest to set up.ĭue to the V6’s popularity, there’s also no shortage of video tutorials to walk you through the process, including an official installation guide from Micro Swiss. The Micro Swiss All-Metal Hot End can sustain temperature up to 300☌ (Ender 3 firmware tweaks required), allowing you to print heat-sensitive materials like PETG, Nylon, PC, and ASA with the stock nozzle. It has a Grade 5 titanium alloy heat break for superb thermal isolation between the heater and cooling block, also introducing a gap to the Ender 3’s PTFE tubing.Īdditionally, the absence of a separate thermal tube inside the block means much speedier heat dissipation.
#HEMERA ENDER 3 V2 FULL#
The Micro Swiss All-Metal Hot End continues that tradition, all at a reasonably affordable $60 to $65, and full compatibility as an Ender 3 hot end upgrade.Īs the name implies, the hot end is all-metal. The company produces some of the most sought-after third-party components, loved for their precision manufacturing and reliability.
