Print speed is a hot issue with many makers. To address that hot issue, E3D has introduced new hotend products that effectively allow makers to upgrade their 3D printers. The latest, and most interesting, upgrade is the Volcano, which allows anyone with an E3D-v6, Chimera, Kraken, or v5/4 extruder to modify it with the Volcano, turning their printer into a high-speed 3D printing beast. Printed objects will also be stronger than previous types, due to thicker layers. The Volcano can print objects up to 250% faster -- check out details about how it works in the full article: http://3dprint.com/33543/e3d-new-volcano-hotend/


Let us know if you have purchased and installed this hotend on your 3D printer. How does it work? Are your prints much faster? How about the quality and strength? Below is a comparison chart of the Volcano versus a v6 printer:
