E3D Hotends - US Distributor

Hi there!

AccelerationLabs (the company I started to produce the Filastruder) has become a distributor of the acclaimed E3D hotend:

I've been really impressed so far, but don't take my word for it - here's a print with an E3D using PLA filament made on a Filastruder:

and one with ABS from a Filastruder:

Anyway, I talked to Sanjay (what a great guy!) and got things squared away. Here's the link to the store:

http://www.filastruder.com/products/all ... e3d-hotend

Both prints were done by 2n2r5 over on Soliforum.

The first 20 orders can use the coupon code "FreeShipE3D" for free shipping within the US. That brings the total cost to $69.99 shipped, when ordering from across the pond will run you $78.40 - assuming the currency conversion doesn't change much.

Hope this is okay to post here, just trying to help out some people that might be interested in an upgrade but didn't want to hassle with international shipping.

The blue/white pattern is pretty cool, was it on purpose though?

All I see are for direct feed...don't we need the bowden specific one for the Rostock/Orion?

You can convert between the two with something like this:

Yes, by varying colorant size and concentration, you can produce that effect.

Elmoret - I'd recommend you do a little more research on hardware before you start recommending delta owners to switch to direct feed extruders.

Cope - quite aware of the difference between bowden/direct feed extruders, and the desire to keep end-effector weight low on a delta. Not everyone here owns a delta, and direct feed E3D can be easily modified for use in a bowden system. Furthermore, I wasn't the first to post about this:

You posted in that very thread, even.

Domestic first class mail is around 3-5 days, priority mail is 1-3 days. You get the option on check out. These will start shipping later this week - the shipment is on its way from E3D but hasn't arrived yet.

Do you think Sanjay will ever do a screw-in thermistor? Also, is it a 100K? You don't state or I missed it.

Thanks in advance.

He said v6 has no kapton, which implies screw in. Haven't heard any more than that though.
