RepRap Conclusion in the ParCan / J- Head hot end comparison video series.

This Video contain my personal, honest and objective evaluation of these 2 hot ends and is by no means THE official ultimate test of what hot end prints the best. I did not do any marginal printing quality tests.

The fact that one of them did not manage to extruder the extremely uneven bad China ABS did not affect my general impression of the them. They both print nice with normal ABS.

And for the record... just in case my English is bad or my voice is unreadable or something... I like both hot ends and Im going to put both to use very soon...
They are BOTH very usable and are BOTH able to make nice looking prints afaik.

and again...
Thank you to Reifsnyderb and ParCan for providing me with the hot ends and for supplying hot ends to the RepRap community.
Tank you to Kliment (and others) for the Pronterface and Sprinter.
Thank you to Action68 (Ahmet TURAN) for SFACT.

and PLEASE... post comments or questions if you want to.. :-)

To mount the J-Head on a Wades extruder you need a separate mounting plate, with a slot for the j head grove in the middle and mounting holes at each end. Put the J-Head in the extruder and then slide the mounting plate into the grove. Good comparison. I use the J-

Head and love it.

A fair and objective evalauation of 2 Hot Ends.

The Hot end is probably the hardest part of a RepRap to make for most people.

I have tried many design ideas along this path to produce a Strong reliable producable hot end that "Just Works."

I use my own designs and ideas on my own RepRap Printers. I wish that all producers of RepRap could say that !

My efforts have been put to test and I thank you RoTorIT for taking the time to do this.
