Hello,
I'm in the process of acquiring my first RepRap and have chosen Tantillus as the technical and aesthetic design appeals to me and the results you guys are getting look great. I've decided to go with the Imperial lasercut model as the frames and printed parts are available in the UK, where I am based.
The only parts I am having difficulty sourcing are the 1/4" - 20 threaded rod in SS and the J-Head Mk-VB Hotend. I know I should be able to get both from the USA or Canada, but I'd like to avoid import duty and high shipping charges by sourcing locally, if I can.
Is anyone aware of a UK/EUR source of the Mk-VB Hotend?
Is it essential to use the brass variant, as there are a few local sources of aluminium Mk-Vs?
Has anyone experience of other Hotends with the Tantillus?
For example, This one from E3D which appears to be compatible with the carriage.
Greg
