I had a E3d v(IDK maybe 6) Hotend on my Ultimaker 2 Extended + and it seemed pretty old and worn. I got it preowned. So I don't know exactly how old it was and thought a new nozzle would help out but I ended up breaking the new nozzle when tighten it (First Time change nozzle}. Pretty sure it was cause it was not hot when putting new nozzle on and maybe a little to much torque. Also another mistake I made was ripping the Thermistor out of its metal housing. So my question is what hotend kit/Parts i should buy. I have been looking for a few days order one e3d v6 kit Then thy took my money and then said it was out of stock Currently waiting for refund. Want To know if i should get a e3d V6 Kit or is there a better alternative. Links would be helpful. Thank you for your time and help

 

Printer: Ultimaker 2 Extended +

Filament: 3.00mm/2.85mm

    The UM2 head is a pretty good print head.  It's too bad they changed it out.  You can get chinese versions on aliexpress.  That's probably what I would do.  Super cheap.  But the quality can be pretty bad.  It's hit or miss but the price is so cheap maybe you don't care.

      • Release Notes: S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 (Latest)

        Dustin posted a topic in Firmware,

        S-Line Firmware 8.3.0 was released Nov. 20th on the "Latest" firmware branch.
        (Sorry, was out of office when this released)

        This update is for...
        All UltiMaker S series  
        New features
         
        Temperature status. During print preparation, the temperatures of the print cores and build plate will be shown on the display. This gives a better indication of the progress and remaining wait time. Save log files in paused state. It is now possible to save the printer's log files to USB if the currently active print job is paused. Previously, the Dump logs to USB option was only enabled if the printer was in idle state. Confirm print removal via Digital Factory. If the printer is connected to the Digital Factory, it is now possible to confirm the removal of a previous print job via the Digital Factory interface. This is useful in situations where the build plate is clear, but the operator forgot to select Confirm removal on the printer’s display. Visit this page for more information about this feature.
