    Looking to upgrade my hot end. Does anyone know of a complete walk through or tutorial specific to the robo3d? If not, anyone willing to through one together?

    Thanks,
    Z

    Thank you - I appreciate that. When ordering the E3D, do I need the bowden kit or just the universal?

    That depends on what you want to do for to make thing easiest I would suggest the standard non bowden setup. You may eventually go to the Bowden setup but it has a lot of additional thing you need to get set up correctly. Being you are still new I would recommend staying with the standard for now.

    The cool thing about the universal (or the bowden for that matter) on the V6 is that you can simply switch back and forth. The bowden is actually only a few $$ more so if you're thinking you might want to change in the future you might want to buy the bowden kit and use it as direct drive. That way you have the parts on hand if you ever want to switch.
