We are Australian Distributors of the infamous E3D-Online high performance full metal Hot Ends.
e3D 3D printer Hot Ends are well regarded as one of the best full metal Hot Ends. The e3D Lite6 is a low cost alternative to the e3D V6. It offer the high performance and reliable performance the e3D is famous for but is restricted in the print speeds and temperature that it can print as. It has a partial PTFE lined Hot End so this means that there is a temperature limit of 240C. Lite6 is aimed at the more standard materials, such as ABS and PLA, and it really does produce beautiful looking prints with outstanding reliability.
Lite6 does not supersede v6 - more compliments it, think of Lite6 as v6’s little brother. It’s a lower cost hotend, with a more modest specification, but still a great option for beginners and those on a budget. Read on to find out the key differences and features.
