Hi, I see that you put the original heater into a normal e3d heater block. Did you experience any downsides from the heater being exposed to the air so much on both sides?

how do we separate the parts? I´m trying to print it but cant find a position and cant break away the parts.

Good feedback. I'm using a v5 hotend from E3D on a new printer and have not had any problems with PLA on it yet. Let's hope that's solved then as I'm very happy with the results thus far. My main reason for choosing E3D was the ability to go higher in temperature so I could print Nylon. I'll check out the Merlin. Can't seem to find 3mm Ubis any more though? Looks like Printrbot has retired them and they're the only reseller I can find. Hard to find a spec on the Ubis to see how high it can go.

Should note that the above comment about the E3D was about printing PLA. Printing ABS is something it does very well. I only print in PLA or XT though.

I abandoned the E3D a long time ago... unfortunately it would clog constantly and frequently need re-tightening or thermistor adjustment. The UBIS however has printed for thousands of hours without issue and the quality is outstanding. I would also look at the Merlin hotend, which I have not tested, but seems to be a smart design and has produced some awesome prints by users in the UM forums.

Hi Nick, Is this the solution you use on your UM still, or did you swap to the Ubis hotend? I'd love a comment on which is better suited for the UM.
