New Hotend about my-extreme-modded-craftbot-3d-printer HOT 4 CLOSED

Hi Michael!
I have used the upgraded CB hotend because that was the most easy way to fix the old hotend: this new hotend is much better then the original version. But indeed, you can improve it a lot more if you change the hotend and extruder for somesing else: the Orbi-extruder with a Mosquito hotend for example. I have tested Klipper also, but I like Reprap firmware more. Klipper is not ready yet, too much hassle.. RepRap is much more userfriendly. But maybe in the future it will be better then RepRap ;-)
Would me nice if you could post a message when you start modding your CB+
With kind regards,
;-) Arthur

Fantastic Arthur... I will definitely share anything I create with you and @Battosai42 who also has a CB+ repo with mods.

I am currently using a modded V6 hotend on my CB+ which was already an improvement over the original one but i also think for a more extensive overhaul moving to something smaller might be prudent (Mosquito, Rapido or Revo), haven't decided yet..
In terms of the Firmware i also went with duet3 mini/reprap firmware, mostly because i can run it without a raspberry pi and i wanted to have an external WIFI antenna as the CB+ is a metal box (this is doable on a RP but needs a hardware mod to it). Since reprap firmware 3.4 now also supports input shaping i see no downside to that, in fact its the more capable firmware and better supported in most slicers.
