gHE - rugged cheap and easy to DIY hot end for any 3D printer

thingiverse

after some time spent with printers and hot ends I came up with easy solution. prints fine and offers very easy service and nozzle type change. http://youtu.be/UO7ny72T9k0 http://www.reprap.org/wiki/GHEhttp://3fx.eu/gHE/ Instructions just follow the models. Assuming you know your way around average garage workshop it should be no problem. stainless steel barrel is just epoxy glued into the aluminium 8mm interface piece. drawings are "sketchy" - the linker/heat barrier with the gAL8 mount (golem aluminum link 8mm dia - working name ;p) should be tolerant to even poor fabrication by design. Nozzle is just default universal. True optimum for different materials, diameters and expected speed/quality ratio are to be found. But with this setup experimenting should be much less troublesome.
