Re: Bowden tube pops out during retractions

Hi Mike, Thanks for the very informative video! It looks like a faulty bowden collet or less likely, a possible machining defect on the heat sink. For good measure I am shipping you an extra replacement heat sink and collets, along with some tubing. I tested this heat sink and collet and it works gr...

Re: Bowden tube pops out during retractions

Hi Mike, Thanks for pointing me to this thread. First of all, I am sorry about the shipping fees. There are not many shipping options in Canada and they are all overpriced... There is nothing that I can do about that unfortunately :( I have heard of this happening before and there could be a few rea...

Hey Everyone, I am so sorry about the late update. As of about 2 weeks ago I finished shipping all of the Indiegogo hot ends. There are only a couple of hot ends that have yet to be shipped. If you have not received an email about this then your hot end has already been shipped. If you have not yet ...

Most of the machined parts are finished, but the 1-Piece Stainless Steel Nozzles are still in production. These parts are taking longer than expected because the...

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

Yeah, you can do that. If you already paid for the coupler then I can just send it to you anyways :) I am going to have to go through all of the comments and perks to make an organized list of what everyone needs so it's ok if you just post in the comments.

Thanks!

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

Yup, that's right. I use the same modified couplers as the E3D V5 so if you have extras then you are good to go!

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

Yeah, $3 would be for one of the couplers. Sorry for the added inconvenience... I would have liked to make a standard one-size-fits-all bowden package instead of these add-ons but not everyone needs the same number of couplers or length of tubing. This was the most effective way I could do this with...

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

Hey Gordon, I emailed you this message but I'll post it here as well in case you haven't seen my email. I added extra add-on perks for bowden couplers and tubing so you can see them on the right hand side of the campaign page. You can select: One coupler, Two couplers, and 750mm, 1000mm, 1250mm, or ...

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

Hey Everyone,

There are only a few hours left in the campaign!

If you are interested in using Prometheus in a bowden configuration please select your required couplers and tubing add-on perks before the end of the campaign!

Thanks,

Re: Prometheus Hot End: Customizable All Metal Hot End!

That's the thing, I need to be able to justify getting extra parts manufactured. It's not just the small drills, the length of the orifice is dependent on the orifice diameter so it would require reprogramming some parts. As you mentioned, I just want to wait until I have the required demand before ...
