All-metal E3DV6 for bowden setups with 1.75 mm filament. A durable hotend with a 24 V heater, ceramic cartridge, 0.4 mm nozzle and PTFE tube that handles PLA, PETG and technical materials requiring higher temperatures. Thanks to its low weight and separation from the extruder, it is suitable for fast printing with minimal vibrations.

Proven E3D V6 design

The E3DV6 is one of the most widespread hotends on the market and can be found in many commercially sold FDM printers. Over the years of operation, the design has proven to be reliable, easily repairable and compatible with a huge amount of spare parts and nozzles of various diameters and materials.

Bowden design = lower print head weight

In the bowden version, the stepper motor is separated from the print head and the filament is fed to the hotend through a PTFE tube. This significantly reduces the moving mass, which helps lower vibrations during fast direction changes and enables higher print speeds without ghosting.

All-Metal version

A heatbreak without a PTFE liner in the hot zone allows printing of materials requiring higher temperatures. You can easily handle ABS, ASA, nylon, polycarbonate or carbon-filled filaments, with which a standard PTFE lining would degrade.

24 V heater and NTC thermistor

The 24 V ceramic heater cartridge ensures a fast ramp-up to printing temperature and stable value maintenance even at high material flow rates. The NTC thermistor accurately measures the heatblock temperature and, together with a two-pin connector, allows easy connection to most control electronics.

0.4 mm nozzle as standard

The package includes a 0.4 mm brass nozzle, which represents a universal compromise between print speed and detail. Thanks to the standard M6 thread, the nozzle can be easily replaced with a different diameter or with a wear-resistant variant from the nozzle offer.

Wide material compatibility

This hotend handles both basic PLA and PETG, as well as technical materials that require higher nozzle temperatures. Thanks to the all-metal construction, you are not limited by the PTFE temperature limit - the hot zone is purely metal.

PTFE tube for bowden feeding

The package includes a PTFE tube for guiding 1.75 mm filament from the extruder to the hotend. Low friction ensures smooth filament feeding and minimizes the risk of feeding problems. Compatible with standard pneumatic fittings.

Active heatsink cooling

The included fan efficiently cools the finned heatsink and maintains a clear boundary between the cold and hot zones. This prevents premature softening of the filament in the cold-end and heat creep, which is often the cause of clogged nozzles in All-Metal hotends.
