    Hi,
    I just received my hemera to upgrade my ender 3. But I want to be able to do hot materials like nylon and possible polycarbonate. I can’t find a definitive list of things I need to do to make that happen. The following is what I think need but I was hoping someone could recommend some products. I basically want the ability to experiment with whatever new filaments come out. I’m replacing my stock power supply, I need to buy a chip to convert from thermistor to thermocouple, I need a thermocouple, I think I need a plated copper heater block, nozzle, and maybe throat? Thanks for your help,
    Zach

    Instead of a thermocouple you could put in a Pt1000 sensor, which is compatible with the normal thermistor inputs (as long as you set the firmware up right). This will cover the range up to 400C, easily.
