    New futuristic Hotend hitting Indiegogo Soon - Prometheus-3D CORE Hot-End

    I just saw that this new futuristic looking hot end is hitting Kickstarter sometime soon.



    Very little details have been released yet. Anyone know any more about it?

    Looks like it's on Indiegogo (not Kickstarter) now.

    It's not yet live though, but looks to be ready to go. It's called the "Prometheus-3D CORE Hot-End"

    Hmm I can't see $100 worth of nozzle there sorry, the thermistor is worth about $5 and the metal is unspecified, so unless that's got titanium in it, i'll stick with my current nozzles methinks.

    Probably they have such price since you will need a 4 axis lathe for this sort of design.

    Well they don't realy give alot of information about it, and i simple don't see it being a great hotend to be honest.

    I kinda doubt they even have a prototype that they have tested, as they only seem to have 3D renderings.
    I don't think this will get the money they are asking for.

    What's your current nozzle? I plan on purchasing an E3D when they release v6.

    2 x plain old 0.4mm brass nozzles that cost me $12 and print like a dream (when the filament is right)
