Hi Zoev89!
Thank you for your answer!
Yes, I will use a thermocouple, because I need more than 300°C. Will try to print with ultem in the future, or PC, PA6, POM! Will get PETG, PA6 and PC in the next weeks!
But, It´s possible to use SSR also for hotend, right?
3mm Filament is not the problem for me, can order directly from China. Will get also PA6 with 10% carbon fibre, if they have more time!
Can you maybe show a pic of your direct drive!?
What is with your printhead and X/Y gantry. Do you use 6mm or 8mm rods?
Best regards!
Eugen

I can answer some of your questions. I have a E3D V6. You can change the default hotend temperature and I changed it to 290 degrees. If you want to go higher you must use a thermocouple. It is possible to run the hotend with 24V and the UM board with 19V. I did not use a SSR since I had some mosfets laying arround from some other projects.
Here is the schematic as an example:
If I would buy the hotend again I would consider the 1.75 version as well. Getting 1.75 filament is easier. On the other hand you might want more speed and a larger nozzle to match the bigger build volume.
I also changed to direct drive which you might consider aswell.
