Hi all,
Earlier this year new hotend was developed by reprap discount -http://www.reprapdiscount.com/
Hexagon hotend is an all metal hotend, something like E3D and can reach temperatures of 300°C

It seems that Lulzbot is putting the new hotend to use with their new TAZ mini.
Here is a forum from RoBo printer that discussed Hexa for a while now. The comments sound promising-

Has anyone had the experience with this hotend so far?
Here is the assembly video-

Here is Lulzbot devel section files-

Are you guys making your own modified Hexa?
If so, what changes would you make
I am thinking of getting one, but I want to remodel the heater block, I don’t like the way heater cartridge in that video sticks out. Too much wasted heat.
cheers
