Should I buy my E3D hotend from E3D-online.com or  filastruder.com .

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

All packed up, ready for pickup tomorrow morning!

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. :wink:

E3D only ships me a few stickers (and haribo). I used this one for the photo-op. :slight_smile: 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. :wink:

@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 :slight_smile:

another +1 for Tim and FilaStruder

Thanks @Joe_Spanier ! Now including Haribo candy with E3D orders. :slight_smile:
