Hotend
Hotends are a very important part of your printer and the quality and reliability of it depends on them. We
recommend taking care of them in order to extend their lifespan, that it’s estimated to be more than 1000 printing
hours. This time depends on the type of material that is used and the proper maintenance that is performed.
