Replacing the i3 mk3s hotend and the Prusa mini heater block!
Why did you change the heater block of the mini if you just needed to change the heater and thermistor…? Original thermistor and heater from e3d would have cost 32 dollars from printedsolid.
And this could have been an opportunity to upgrade to the Revo system from e3d.
I tried removing the thermistor but I couldn’t get the black screw on the underside of the heater block to budge, instead of drilling out the thermistor I just decided to replace the whole heater block/heater/thermistor because it’s been about 2 years with the original components and the whole thing was looking rough.
Thought it would just be easier to start fresh. I was able to find a hotend kit on Amazon for $16.99. But now it’s not really the correct hotend, so Revo upgrade here I come
@@3D_Luke oh ok, i was also wondering what material you used for the MK3s fan shroud?
@@tfb12345 I used PLA, do you think it will melt if I print anything above 215°? I didn’t really consider that. Luckily I haven’t printed anything yet with the MK3 so there’s time to do it in ABS or something. It may be far enough from the extruder to be okay though
@@3D_Luke well PLA will get soft at 60 degrees, so i would recommend a material that can withstand a higher temperature. (Ive had mine printed out of PETG start deforming)
