Should I buy my E3D hotend from E3D-online.com or http://filastruder.com. E3D-online is the orginal designer and filastruder says they are a american company that has partnered with E3D to be a american distributed.
They are a distributor for E3D. If you are in the US you will save a few bucks buying from them.
Tim here, from Filastruder. I am a genuine distributor of the E3D hot end, and if you order tonight I’ll make sure it gets in tomorrow’s mail. As Brian said, you save a few bucks buying through Filastruder after shipping is factored in.
I’ll vouch for Filastruder. I just bought an E3D from them, and it even shipped super fast.
I bought one from Filastruder last week, they shipped the same day that I placed the order.
ok good to know. Ordering it know. I was reading some comments someone said about cheap Chinese knot offs and people where having trouble with them. Just wanted to make sure wasnt getting a chinese one or something
haha nice thank you @Tim_Elmore
Damn. Must have missed that E3D sticker in my box.
The kit is good. Everything you need, including a bit of kapton tape. I was a little nervous about accidentally breaking the leads on the thermistor, but it worked out fine.
Going to seem a little incongruous on my PrintrBot Simple.
E3D only ships me a few stickers (and haribo). I used this one for the photo-op. I’m looking into sourcing the haribo locally, and I’ve asked E3D for more stickers.
Ah! So I don’t have to go rummaging through the garbage.
@Tim_Elmore1 haha true I recall now ! How could I have forgotten I had received some Haribo sweets with my E3D (from sanjay, being EU)? This is completely off-topic but kind attention
another +1 for Tim and FilaStruder
Thanks @Joe_Spanier ! Now including Haribo candy with E3D orders.
