What makes a good hotend?
What's the best all metal hotend design out there why? What is ideal? For example do you want a long or short transition zone? Do you want the material (let's use pla in this example) melted closer to the nozzle or further away from it?

a short transition zone give you more control, less ooze. it can give you issues with certain plastics that like to melt slowly. these would need to be printed slower. i have had hot ends with longer zones and shorter. i much prefer the short zone. i run an e3dv6. a very short zone on that. fantastic hot end.
Printer will print perfect...
