Good afternoon all… I’m having a bugger of a time trying to find a sutable repalcement hotend for a Taz 6. We had a nozzle break off inside and subsequently destroyed the block trying to get it out. If there is a suitable replacement hotend, or hell, just the block, that can be had today, I love to get it. My searches are coming up short. ---

(Deleted Moarstruder Photo for clairity) Found these on [https://e3d-online.com/](https://e3d-online.com/) Unless someone knows of an alternative… I may give these a shot. ---

Perhaps you can confirm which tool head you have, and what nozzle size? Specifically, is it the MoarStruder, or the original hexagon hot-end based toolhead? Or perhaps is it the Aerostruder? ---

Sooo… Ended up breaking the heatbreak off in the heatsink so now I need an entire assembly. Would this work?

Probably beyond what you’re looking to spend, but I just bought a V2.1 that had been converted E3D V6 by [waterproofpaper](https://www.ebay.com/usr/waterproofpaper?_trksid=p2047675.l2559), I’m liking it a lot better.
