Description
A hotend kit is a component that contains the nozzle, heating block, and other parts necessary for melting and extruding filament. Hotend kits are available in two main categories: stock replacements and all-metal upgrades. An upgrade kit is a common modification that can improve print quality, reliability, and expand material options.
