Upgraded 24V 115W Quick Heat High Power CHC Pro Kit Ceramic Heating Volcano Hotend Core Compatible with Ender 3 V2 Pro CR10 MK3S Titan Aero Extruder 3D Printer

If you wish to do the same mod just know that it is work. You will have to cut and solder wires. I also recommend that you change out the heatbreak, stock one did not want to thread all the way on and I ended up increasing my z offset by 0.65mm. However, this thing gets hot instantly; like terrifyingly quick. It prints 80mm/s on a 0.6mm nozzle without clicking, which is all I wanted. The temperature stays fairly stable usually 1 or 2 degrees hot though i dont have much print time. If it came as plug and print for an anycubic head I would gladly pay another 5 or 10 dollars though.

Easy, fast upgrade to the typical volcano hotend.As the previous reviewer stated, know what you're getting into. Don't be lulled into a false sense of security by the fact that it comes pre-assembled: inspect before installing into your rig. There's no telling what may happen during shipment. Thermal runaway is something to ALWAYS be on the lookout for when using a brand-new temperature sensing device.Make sure your firmware's safeties are enabled. On that note; if this is your first time messing with a new temp sensor, make sure that you read up on how to configure your own firmware and understand the process before you purchase. This heater dissipates like 2.5ish times the amount of power compared to most stock hot ends...it's not the sort of mod you want to make unless you have a little experience with this sort of thing.Now...the actual hot end itself...Wowza. You can really see those 115 watts in action here. This thing heats up QUICK.Which...when combined with the low thermal mass of the unit (no chunk of copper or aluminum to act as a heat buffer) makes the temperature readout seem a little less stable than a traditional hot end. It'll flutter around a degree or two while sitting idle, but in use it's pretty solid under load after running a PID tune.That said...all that extra juice going to the hot end has to come from somewhere. Make sure your power supply is up to the task. My stock ender 3 v2 power supply can struggle if I try to heat the stock bed & hot end from cold AND engage a homing sequence. 220w bed + 115 watt hot end on a 350 watt PSU doesn't leave a ton of head room for the inductive load those steppers represent. Likely my next upgrade right there...Tips:I like to print functional items with nylon, PC and the like. Tool organizers for use in the field, electronics enclosures, mechanical parts. I found that I had to drop my typical printing temperatures a good 10-15 degrees C when printing at 50mm/s, otherwise overhangs can be a big ol problem. Granted, this is coming from a non volcano setup...which means that this thing really has a whole lot of headroom for increasing the printing speed on these higher temp filaments. If your rig can handle it, of course. I'm using this on a heavily modded ender 3 v2. This would be AWESOME on a well tuned delta.Highly recommended.

This thing heats up so fast and have been good to my over many many hours of printing

Overall I am extremely pleased. Considering the low price, there is significant value here for someone looking to upgrade from standard nozzle length+basic heater cartridge. The construction is solid where it matters and reinforcement is plenty rigid.I swapped out a nickel-plated copper heatblock w/ 70W cartridge and nickel-plated copper nozzle with this and it was a breeze to mount. For reference, I have a BIQU H2 V1.0 DD extruder attached to coreXY TwoTrees Sapphire Pro frame.Very happy with purchase. Thank you

CHECK YOUR THERMOCOUPLE! ITS NOT OBVIOUS, must pull spring back slightly to check.I changed my firmware settings as instructed and started a PID tune. The hotend started smoking and I unplugged my printer before it burst into flames. I updated my firmware (klipper) and tried again. The same thing happened again. I checked the wire and tried reducing a few parameters dealing with PID and finally got it to heat without smoking. It was still reading roughly half the actual temperature that the nozzle was reaching and the temp was swinging wildly. It was sadly time to return it. I mean it was dangerously defective. I just wanted to check the thermocouple first just in case. Yup it was not assembled correctly. The TC was pulled out its housing and halfway down the spring that holds it in. It was a major struggle to get it reseated and the spring put back. They did not install the tc correctly and it is not obvious until you extend the spring risking pulling everything apart. The wires are also tied to the hotend with a wire tie and is difficult to pull.Well, PID works flawlessly and temp is perfectly stable, flow is good, as expected, it lightweight and compact and great in every way but I am giving one star because of the danger I was put in and also my silicone sock is toast.Always check your parts, don’t risk it!
