Planned Features
- Custom hot end design inspired by the Roetz 4.0
- Optimized melt zone for higher flow rates
- Modified Ender 3 frame to accommodate the new toolhead
- Performance comparison: stock vs. upgraded
Why This Project
The Ender 3 is one of the most common printers in the hobby. Showing what’s possible with a better hot end on familiar hardware makes the knowledge accessible to a wide audience.
