Ender 3 Hotend, Authentic Creality Assembled Hotend Kit 3D Printer Parts with 5X 0.4mm Nozzles for Ender 3 Ender 3 V2 and Ender 3 Pro

What can I say it saved my machine. My machine for some reason has been having issues since the new brand filament. Biggest issue would be the filament leaking out and around the heat block. This caused boogers, many failed prints and wasted an entire roll of filament for one print. While cleaning the oozing filament around the heat block my printer froze and would not boot pass the logo screen. Research upon research I couldn’t find a solid answer but one word thermistor. So seeing as I couldn’t remove the screw to replace the thermistor with the filament encasing it I bought this. Install was easy, quick and problem solving. As soon as I finished installing the new hotend kit and powered on the machine I was back inside the printer menu. I will admit with the amount of issues I’ve had I’m hesitant and am printing small things at the moment. The prints I’ve gotten have been flawless, better than before. Can’t beat this cost on this for the headache it fixed.

As soon as came, I installed it. It works perfectly. Will update if any issues come up.

I can see why these parts are commonly replaced especially as a new user after about 9 mos of heavy printing. You do make a lot of mistakes haha. For my first time replacing something like this it was a bit of a bear for me. Lots of patience and pausing videos. Seems to work really good after a few weeks so far. My heat monitor fluctuates about + and - 5 degrees constantly. The only effect is that it takes a while to load/unload, and a bit longer to start a new print. Like the mother board is trying to decide if it’s hot enuff or no not. I would purchase it again though. Been having great prints with almost no issues.

Installed it and immediately started 3dprinting again. Works perfectly

After breaking something (probably a thermistor lead) in my original 3Max hotend, I decided to replace the whole unit and worry about fixing the original one later. The whole process took an hour or so--maybe 10 screws, a beer and a little cussing. Its all pretty obvious where things go but rerouting the wires though the mesh is a pain. To save yourself some aggravation, tape the ends of the wire bundle together to help keep it from separating or getting stuck when putting the new wires back through the sleeve. I was back up and printing in no time.

Installed alongside a Capricorn swap on an Ender 3 Pro. No issues. You don’t need a Microswiss hot-end unless you are printing materials which require upgrading to one.

Like so many others, I had the hot end ceramic heater fail on my years old OG E3, so replacement was necessary. I was pleased when this arrived. Everything was exactly as it was in the OEM version. Comes with the full hot end, including a silicone sleeve (much better than Kapton and Fiberglass), fittings, clips, and more. The replacement fittings were definitely appreciated. Even the thermistor wires seem OEM. Unfortunately, its also the OEM Bowden. Replace that with Capricorn tubing. One thing that could make this even better would be a small cap over the wires. Running them through the mesh tubing can be a bit of a pain, as the wire ends get stuck. A cap could help alleviate that. A tip: dont forget to snip all the zip ties and tip the machine for ease of access. All in all, Im very pleased with both the price and quality and would definitely buy again.

Its the same thing your printer came with. Its not outstanding, but its reliable, cheap, and you know exactly what youre getting. Works great for me.
