Yes, I made some slight improvements to the design in order to make it easier to remove the sensor and the heater.
I have had hundreds of hours of printing with it on my printer, so I am quite confident it will work now.
Regarding print quality and oozing properties, the E3D-nozzle might differ slightly from the original nozzle. This is something that I can or will not do anything about though. In my opinion it seems to work as good as the original nozzle, but I have not done extensive comparisons yet.
One of my heater blocks has been living at Ultimakers HQ for some time now, but I have had zero feedback on that.
My main issue is now to get a workshop to manufacture a test series of these for a reasonable price.
I am negotiating with two workshops, but things are awfully slow here. (and I am quite busy with other things too)
I was hoping that I could offer a test series of these to people in this thread before Christmas or so.
I asked Ultimaker if they have any opinion on me providing these as upgrades for the UM2, but I had zero feedback on that one too so far, so I guess it is okay then :grin:

I'm sure I must be missing something, but why can't the block which houses the heater & sensor just have a threaded hole on the underside with a screw-in nozzle?
