The hotend is the heart of a 3D printer, responsible for heating and extruding the printing material. It consists of a heating block, a thermistor (or thermocouple) for temperature measurement, and an extrusion head with a nozzle.
Hotends can have various designs and be made of different materials such as metal, stainless steel, or brass, depending on the printing requirements. They can also be either fixed or interchangeable, allowing for easy replacement of nozzles or other components.
Choosing the right hotend for the specific type and size of printing material, as well as the desired printing speed and resolution, is crucial. Proper calibration and maintenance of the hotend are essential for producing high-quality prints and avoiding potential issues during printing.
