@Whosa_whatsis I agree. We currently have various samples of ohms as I mentioned before that we’re testing to see what works best.
I plan to also probably create a gem-infused hotend tip sometime in the near future for abrasive filaments.
@Ashley_Webster We can make tips for axial thermistors in the future if it proves that there’s demand for it.
Regarding groove mount, we’re not going with that anymore as we needed a hotend that’s super small to fit our new Delta Go printer. I also think groove mounts are a bit old-fashioned. It’s easier to screw something in than create a perfect groove for it.
How easy is it to remove Bowden tube with your connector? I really like the connector E3D uses. Have you thought about some kind of insulation around the heater and even the upper part of the nozzle? It would help avoid melting small features via radiated heat.
Nice
@Daniel_Kruger Do you have a link to an example you’re referring to?

WAY better than any other bowden couplers.
I was referring to the insulation about the nozzle he was describing. But regarding the bowden couplers, we are planning on having a collet sit into the aluminum heatsink directly. I think I posted a picture of our sample here on G+ somewhere before. Basically a setup the same as an E3D, but without the brass insert like they do. The aluminum heatsink already has the profile cut into it. I’ll see if I can find the picture.
The best I can think of would be a hollow thin wall stainless cylinder with a vacuum for the heater and a molded RTV cap for the nozzle. Maybe a spring wire clip to hold every thing to the heatsink. http://www.permatex.com/products-2/product-categories/gasketing/gasket-makers/permatex-high-temp-red-rtv-silicone-gasket-detail
I don’t know the manufacturing or cost feasibility.
Maybe a deep draw, hollow, open ended, thin wall stainless cylinder with RTV cap would be feasible. http://www.prototype-shortrun.com/short-run-metal-stampings
@Shai_Schechter I like the whole design
