This hot-end is designed to be build with simple tools and without the need for great engineering skills.

About the design

WHY another design? The complexity of most hot-end designs (lathe needed) and the use of hard to obtain and expensive materials (Peek) make it hard for the average person to build their own hot-end. This design is great for everyone who wants to build a hot-end but who doesn't have access to a lathe, cnc-machine and drill-press.


Thermal design

This hot-end uses stainless steel as an insulator and as structural part. Stainless steel conducts heat less easily than normal steel, brass or aluminum.
