Very well made, but they clog extremely easily - which is to be expected. I haven't yet been able to get them to print properly but I'll keep trying...

The E3D-V6 hot end kit is a good quality product and retrofitting my 3D printer with it wasn't too difficult, but getting good quality prints out of it wasn't so straight forward. After re-leveling the bed and the nozzle to bed reference point, it took a lot of trial and error before the print quality finally exceeded the original hot end. I put this down to the slicing functions and using different slicing engines with the repetier firmware. First layer print quality and fill was the big issue! The slicing engines have a default extrude value of 200% for the first line and in doing so they reduce the line count with the expectation that the hot end will give more extrusion and a fatter line, but the E3D-V6 nozzle doesn't! So I have reduced first line extrusion value to 100% to increase the line count and manually increase flowrate through the nozzle to 150% in order to get a complete fill for the first two layers then revert to 100% flow for the rest of the build. This gives me a high quality first layer, albeit a manual operation for the first layers.
Couldn't be happier. I've had my little Monoprice V2 for about a year and the best thing I have ever done was get the E3D V-6 Lite and a 0.2mm nozzle
Cant review product since its been two weeks and I have not received it.
We are Australian Distributors of the infamous E3D V6 high performance full metal Hot Ends.
These 3D printer Hot Ends are well regarded as one of the best full metal Hot Ends. They are suitable for printing the widest range of print materials with excellent print results, allowing for soft flexible materials and higher temperature filaments such as polycarbonate and Nylons.
E3D nozzles come in a choice of sizes and are coded with dots on the thread.
The 1.75mm and 3mm Hot Ends use different nozzles so ensure you purchase the correct nozzles for your Hot End!
Cross sectional view through the three E3D V6 hot ends available. Left 1.75mm Universal, middle 3mm Direct, right 3mm Bowden.
There are three variations of the E3D V-6 Kit. If you wish to print with 1.75mm filament you can use the 1.75mm Kit is universally usable in both a 1.75mm direct drive extruder or a Bowden style extruder set-up.If you have a 3mm Filament 3D Printer, choose between the Direct Drive version or the Bowden style HotEnd as illustrated above.
