Modix Griffin Spare Hotend

Higher Reliability

Large scale 3D printing usually involves the risk of the print-head scratching or crashing into the models’ thick layers resulting in bent or broken heat-breaks. The new Modix Griffin Printhead provides a rigid mounting for the heat-block. so it’s naturally more reliable and reduces these situations. The main reason for this is that the heat-block is now mounted on three faces instead of only one. It can withstand much stronger impacts thanks to this additional bracing. The Modix Super Volcano Hotend by e3D. a longer hotend can also be attached to the rigid mounting using a dedicated adapter.

Improved User Experience

The new print-head design makes nozzle replacements much easier. and it even allows quick swapping of the entire filament melting subsystem. The rigid mounting of the heat-block allows one handed nozzle replacement. making it even easier to test different nozzle diameters.

Easy Swap

The design of the mounting bracket and the D shaft style of the Slice Engineering heat-break gives users the ability to slide the entire filament melting subsystem in and out with ease. This will allow users to dedicate a complete setup for a specific filament type. i.e. keeping one setup for abrasive carbon filled filament and another one for prototyping with PLA.

Smart

The new print-head allows automatic Z off-set calibration between the nozzle and the BL Touch probe. This is by far easier and more precise than the manual procedure. A dedicated sensor allows the BL-Touch and the nozzle to touch the surface. The precise relative distance (the offset ) is saved automatically to the printer.

Compact Design

The new design maintains the previous design benefits of compact design that gives you generous Z-axis travel and is compatible with the vast offering of E3D Volcano nozzles coming in numerous sizes and materials.
