E3D E3D All-metal v6 HotEnd Full Kit 3.00mm Direct (12v)
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.
Our inventory of this kit has transitioned to the new cartridge-type format for temperature sensors. This kit contains the new thermistor cartridge and heater block.

The v6 HotEnd allows you to print a wide variety of materials, from soft and flexible to sturdy and strong. This is possible due to the PTFE (Polytetrafluoroethylene) liner tube through the hotend that you can extend into your extruder - this gives the ability to add the confinement and constraint needed to make excellent quality prints with flexible filaments. This technology opens new doors for your 3D printing aspirations.
With High-Temperature Performance, you can print with high-temp materials like Polycarbonate and Nylon - this also eliminates HotEnd meltdown failures that are common with PTFE designs. Even though the v6 has a PTFE liner inside the hotend the liner is never subjected to high temperatures so there is no risk of damaging the liner through overheating. Basically, this design is really in-tune with all the elements, so your prints will come out crisp and accurate.
The v6 has cut back on a bunch of bulk. This clean-cut version's overall length is only 62mm, and there are significant reductions in the X/Y dimensions by using the new injection molded fan duct.
Are you eager to start printing right away? Good. So are we - and that's why here at MatterHackers we praise the v6 HotEnd. No adhesives, Kapton tape, or soldering is needed to get started. The new v6 simply locks into place with a little screw, and the updated cartridge style thermistor makes installing the hotend (as well as removing) a quick and smooth process compared to earlier methods. The parts of the hotend just screw together, and the fan duct naturally clips in - this can be manipulated in different ways to suit your setup preference.
The v6 has kept its vivd thermal transition that promotes high quality printing - this is a standard requirement with all E3D accessories and hotends. A sharp thermal break gives excellent control over material output, which provides more precise starts and stops during your extrusion. Essentially, as a printing aficionado, this means you will have a more authentic and keen print.
Everyone likes to have different options to fuel their creative fire. Well, another reason why the v6 HotEnd is at the head of its class is because it has multiple nozzle sizes to choose from, thus your printing dreams are limitless. The default nozzle is 0.4mm, which produces fantastic prints with a great level of speed, ease, and resolution. Collecting a plethora of nozzle sizes increases your ability explore and experiment with different filaments and extrusion settings.
The printing options are endless with multiple nozzles!

You can find assembly instructions here.
- Find a way to attach the hot end. This usually involves printing some kind of mounting piece.
- Modify your firmware configuration.
- Find a way to power the fan.
- How does my hot end attach to the printer?
- Can I modify my printer's firmware?
- If you want to use the Chimera, Cyclops, or Kraken, you must also consider how many motor drivers, thermistor inputs, and heater outputs your controller board has.
- Does my printer use 1.75 or 3 mm filament?
- Does my printer run on 12 V or 24 V, or some crazy combination of the two (i.e. a 24 V PSU with the hot end throttled down to 12 V using PWM)?
- Is my printer a direct drive or Bowden setup?

Hello, I have a MendelMax 1.5 with 3.0mm MK IV-B nozzle. It works well for printing PLA, but the main issue I've had when printing with ABS is the temperature warps my PLA x-carriage. Can I safely use a PLA X-carriage and PLA mounting hardware with the E3D hot end? I'd like to print with Nylon and high strength materials, which probably require relatively high melting temperatures. Thanks!
I built a Mendel Prusa i2 (Greg's Hinged Accessible Extruder, .35mm J-Head Hot End) two years ago and want to upgrade it with the E3D All-metal v6 HotEnd 3mm Direct kit and assorted nozzles. Are you aware of any issues with this plan? The J-Head/Extruder currently uses a wooden mounting plate. Do you have a comparable alluminum plate for the E3D available?
I have a 3DP Unlimited printer, can I use this 3.00mm Direct HotEnd?
Can I use this with an Ultimaker 2? If so, which one?
I have an Airwolf XL printer, which E3D hot end would I need? Do instructions come with it for installation on my printer? How much are extra nozzles and do you have them in-stock?
Is there a reason that hot ends are soldered in and not connectorized?
Connectors are not provided with the kits because each printer uses different types of connectors.
