Oozes filament
Used as a replacement for my taz 6. fit properly but when printing, plastic oozes out above the heater block but below the heat sink. causes the heating block to get covered in the material and cause a mess.

One Hot Hotend!
Hot end works great.Caution to those who are not Arduino Saavy, You will need to reconfigure your firmware to accommodate this hotend.Make sure you don't screw it up, It can lead to the Hot end not heating up properly or damaging your printer board.I got some good support from the supplier and I was able to fix the issues I had.

Exactly what I needed to get my Lulzbot Mini back up and running.
The nozzle diameter wasn't listed on the product description, it appears to be 0.5mm (which is the same that the original lulzbot mini came with)

Great direct replacement for my Lulzbot Taz. Note that assembly is required.

This size orifice (0.35mm) on the Hex hotend seems to be prone to clogging.
This was a replacement for my 0.35 TAZ hex hotend that clogged. It only took my second print with this hotend to suffer a clog from hell, which I am still unable to clear. For your information, I was extruding PLA at the prescribed 185 C. I have since purchased a V2C, 0.5 Nozzle from AO directly, hoping that this version of hotend doesn't clog so easily.

I have not actually fired it up yet, but it's a perfect match for my taz 5

Does exactly what I need it too.
I purchased this to use in the 3D printer I built. It is a clone of the Lulzbot TAZ 6. It works great and I love the print quality I am getting. I have not had any issues with the hot end getting jammed.
