Considering a new J-head 12 highflow
Posted: Sat Jun 22, 2019 11:12 pm
I'm currently running a Prometheus v2 and I've liked it so far, but I'm looking at j-heads at hotends.com and they have a new all-metal that looks great. I've been wanting to try a J-head, but was just wondering if anyone has experience yet with the J-head 12 highflow. It's a bit pricey, but it sounds like a great hot end. Like I said, I've been happy with my prometheus v2, but I want to try some other hot ends because I can only really compare to the stock hot end on my Rostock Max v2.
Anyway, I'm thinking about the 0.4mm J-head 12 highflow and I print a lot of PLA. I realize the original J-head is perfect for PLA, but I do want the flexibility of printing higher temp stuff without having to swap hot ends (no easy swap setup yet for me). That said, if the J-head 12 highflow isn't great for PLA then I might not want it. From what I've read, though, it sounds like it'll do at least as well as my Prometheus v2 (I'm not sure though).
Anyway, thanks!
