Creality Official Ender 3 V3 SE Hotend Kit, Up to 260℃ High Temperature Hotend, 250mm/s High Speed All Metal Hotend Kit for Ender 3 V3 SE 3D Printer

I used this to upgrade the hotend on my 8 year old Frankenstein's monster of a printer that was originally a Pursa i3 clone and it worked incredibly well. After PID tuning this new hotend has no problem holding 260 degrees with less then 1 degree of variance. My old hotend assembly would really struggle to hold a stable temp above 200. Overall a really solid hotend that I highly recommend. The hotend functions really well, It has really good heat isolation between the hotend and the filament heatsink, I have had no issues at all with clogs from heat creep. I always had issues on my old hotend no matter what I attempted to do to isolate it, but with this one even when the hotend is at 260 degrees the heatsink is just warm to the touch. Overall I am very pleased with this, it is a big upgrade to my old printer. Of course this was not a drop in replacement for my old printer, it required some dremal work to get it to mount in place. I got this Ender hotend because I had replaced the original extruder with a bowden type similar to what the Ender uses. This hotend uses a good bit more power then the old one but I did not have any problems from that as I had already replaced the old heated bed with a externally powered 400 watt 120v AC oil pan heater so that left plenty of headroom. I did not realize that this was 24v until after I had already fit it in place and my old printer was made for a 12v hotend, but that was not too hard to fix with a boost converter to step up the 12v to 24v. It seems like all of the better hotends are 24v anyway. I got this boost converter, it seems really good quality: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089M5QBF9?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

This is an exact factory replacement of the original hot end that came on my Ender 3 V3 SE. I would give this rating another star if it came with the fan.

Correct fit

It was perfect

awesome
