Description
- Original, made by the inventor, not made in China
- Lightweight. Prints fast. Heats up fast. Accurate temperature reporting. Prints reliably with both ABS and PLA. (PLA may require a small fan to provide air-flow through the cooling vents which are milled in the sides of the nozzle holder.)
- Easily interfaces with the most popular RepRap extruders, such as Wade's Extuder and Greg Frost's Hinged Accessible Extruder.
- Simple design. Number of custom machined parts is kept to a minimum.
- Resistor is used as a heater. No need to wrap nichrome wire or to bake a heater core. Heat transmission is improved because there is no thermal junction where a separate heater would screw onto the nozzle.
The Jhead hotends are the original, made in USA by the inventor. This kit contains (1) Hot end with a 0.5 mm nozzle to use with 1.75 filament (PLA or ABS) (2) Resistor (3) Thermistor (4) PTFE Teflon Tubing for the resistor and thermistor.
