[Original]Anycubic I3 Mega 3D Printer Extruder Print Head

Worked great for the first few prints then exploded after I tried to do a long print.

The item is pretty good for its value, it fitted nicely. The downsides to it are that the bowden tube and wires are a bit too short and the wires come with a connector I dont use, so I had to improvise along the way to connect everything to my Kossel Linear Plus. Also, all of the screws are way to tight, which makes replacements a bit hard.

Working out great

Worked perfectly in my Antcubic i3 Mega-S

Replacing a worn head couldnt be easier.

A great replacement for when my hot end failed on the Anycubic Kossel. I used this hot end to print with both PLA and TPU without any issues.

I have gotten 3 of these over time. They all start to leak from the threads about 10-20 hours of printing. While they will work you need to keep cleaning them and you get blobs. If you can just upgrade to an E3D v6 do it. Otherwise, you will need to rebuy the extruder multiple times if you print any moderate amount.

I dont think its supposed to start leaking from the threads and cause this.

I bought a v6 to upgrade to, but also didnt realize my silent fan I swapped to doesnt put out enough air. As a PTFE lines V5 hotend this one is much more forgiving and immediately resolved the jamming issues I had. It did arrive with a somewhat deep chip in the heater block, but it is simply cosmetic.

Direct replacement for my AnyCubic i3. I was having problems feeding filament even after a nozzle change, but this did the trick!
