Discussion

Complete print head for Ender3 v2. Works perfectly on my printer. The wires and cables are not exactly the same length as the original ones, but this does not pose a problem during installation. However, note that the inner diameter of the radiator for the PTFE tube passage is smaller than the original one... This means that the original blue PTFE tube does not fit, even when forced. (I had 2 new lengths in stock). To resolve the issue, I used a compatible PTFE tube, with an outer diameter slightly smaller than the original blue tube...
Looks cool. There's no way to check, I haven't even unpacked the printer yet. Delivery is fast, within a week.
