Just wondering since this It's a bit out of topic but has been mentioned before.
Since e3d lite works with pla (has inner ptfe linner). Doesn't that means that with the e3d lite and an extra barrel someone could print pla 1.75 with reliability and other 230C+ materials on 2.85mm just by changing the barrel/nozzle? A dual e3d head one with 1.75 for pla and other for 2.85mm abs/nylon should in theory work right? And since they are totally diferent kind of materials shouldn't be much problematic, specially if someone uses the pancake direct drive like anders-olsson / foehnsturm
Ofc for single extruder using the e3d lite with pt100 and a set of barrel/nozzle to change would allow to change from one material to other and a new bowden to change from 1.75 to 2.85mm fast. Also the one that gr5 sells on his shop has the inner ptfe notglued so it would be even faster to swap stuff.

Exactly the same setup. I want to use the "old" worm gear print heads for 3 mm filament on the corexy as well. Speed and mass inertia are no problem. The print head only fell down twice in the beginning when there was heavy over-extrusion and it caught a raised edge.
