kossel mini Hotend V6

thingiverse

The Kossel Mini hot end is designed to be an ultra-portable upgrade for 3D printers utilizing extruders with Bowden or direct drives, as well as those utilizing other styles of printers that require efficient operation at various temperature settings. This unit uses all metal heating parts for increased efficiency and accuracy in temperature control, along with the addition of dual temperature controls, which facilitate smooth print job operations over a broad spectrum of operating conditions, including temperatures both extremely low and extremely high. A significant benefit provided by this device is its use of direct drive for printing, minimizing any chance of blockage within the printing nozzles as it creates very precise extrusions from a more solid base stock source of molten plastic, while maximizing print quality on both low-resolution prototype pieces to very accurate prints requiring a specific density range. It incorporates stainless steel heating parts to prevent corrosion, thereby prolonging its operational life in environments subjected to water vapor or steam exposure due to high temperatures and repeated cycling. This allows 3D printers to utilize it with various plastic extruder sources for long-lasting quality outputs at high production rates under precise temperature settings required by very diverse application requirements for 3D printing of prototypes, functional components or production models across an extensive spectrum of engineering disciplines from low-tech to extremely specialized products where specific properties of materials such as density range, hardness range or tensile strength vary over a wide spectrum and accurate modeling at different operating temperatures becomes essential in research development stages and mass manufacturing scenarios requiring highly efficient tool operation performance at multiple scales for precision engineering and production environments alike.
