Hi, Currently sourcing parts for a printer and had almost settled on the E3D V5 hotend until I noticed Sanjay mentioning a V6 being in the works in some forum. Long story short - should I just get the V5 or wait for the V6? Can you provide any info on the improvements planned? Any ETA?
Hey Tarjeik, V6 is indeed in the works. But I don't want to say too much - that would spoil all the excitement! What I can tell you is that the HotEnd will: Contain no Kapton Be lighter and a little more compact Be more geared towards printing with flexible plastics There will be a beta product coming out in the next 2 months which will be available to buy. The finished product will be coming out after this depending on how the beta run goes. In the meantime I would advise going with the v5. Watch this space...
