How do I assemble my E3D v6 Hotend?
Assembly Steps
- Nozzle screwed into block, and unscrewed a 1/2 turn.
- Break screwed into block level with top of block.
- A first, slight tightening of the nozzle against the break.
- new easy insertion of thermistor cartridge.
- Sensor inserted.
- Heater inserted into block.
- HeaterBlock tightened around cartridge.
How tight should Hotend?
It is important you get it screwed in until it stops against the nozzle, if the gap is too much, your one turn on the nozzle wont be enough later. Plus when you got it all back hotend should be firm and not wiggle around by itself.
How does 3D printer hot end work?
The hotend can be described as the component of an FDM 3D printer that heats, melts and extrudes the material layer by layer through a nozzle. The whole structure of the hotend helps to maintain a consistent and accurate temperature as well as providing an optimized thermal dissipation.

Do you need an all-metal Hotend for PETG?
For the most part, PETG does require an all-metal hotend to be able to tune your filament to its fullest, as in while you may have successful prints at 240°C, you don’t achieve full strength until 255°C.
How do you mount a E3D V6?
Use an M2x6 screw in the top right of the layer cooling fan to attach it to the mount. Slide the duct onto the bottom of the fan and use another M2 screw to attach the bottom right side of the fan to the mount. Use a third M2 screw and an M2 nut to hold the left side of the duct to the fan.
Should the heat break touch the nozzle?
Screw it in by hand until there’s gap of about half a mm. Now screw in the heatbreak as well until you hit the nozzle. You only have to tighten it slightly for now. There should be no gap between the nozzle and the heatbreak.
What is the E3D V6 hotend full kit?
The v6 HotEnd Full Kit from E3D has been redesigned for your convenience from the ground up! This new hot end contains the same signature high temperature performance for high-temp printing, as well as increased functionality for printing soft and flexible filaments.
Why choose E3D hotends for high quality printing?
High Quality Printing: We’ve kept our sharp thermal transition that gives the high quality printing performance users have come to expect from E3D HotEnds. A sharp thermal break gives better control over filament output so you get more immediate start and stops when extruding as well as retracts that are more effective in combating ooze.
What temperature should I set the heater on my E3D?
If you only plan on printing ABS, PLA, and/or Nylon, it is recommended that you set your heater cartridge “MAX_PWM” to 150 in your firmware, in order to limit the E3D’s heater to a range suitable for these plastics. If you are not printing materials requiring ~300C, there is no need for “MAX_PWM” to be set over 150.
How long is the E3D V6 thermistor?
We’ve focussed on cutting as much bulk from the E3D V6 as possible. This means an overall length of just 62mm, and low bulk in X/Y dimensions! 04. Easy to Use Our new thermistor cartridge simply slides into place and is secured with a single screw.
