I have a e3d v6 hotend on my taz5 and am planning on upgrading the temperature sensor so that I can get temperatures up to 400C. I want to be able to use ultem filaments. Are there any issues to this?

Hi Penn1793,

I have not done so but currently in the process of trying to accomplish this. Have you pulled the trigger on this and have any lessons learned that you can pass on? Thanks in advance!
