Changing the teflon barrel?

Hello all.

Since i’m printing ABS i need to go to 240° and I’m having issues with the teflon barrel (i already changed it 3 times because of deformations) so i’ll probably change it for a metal one.

I’ve found this : http://k8200.jimdo.com/shop/

Do you have other suggestions for this modification and links for shopping the parts i need ?

Tanks

Wouldn’t it be better, easier and cheaper to go for the E3D hotend?

I’m just guess.
But if you use metal the heat from hot end would travel through it causing the filament to melt before it go to the hotend and cause a big mess in the extruder.

Like I said just a guess but I think this would cause a bigger problem.

The E3d hot-end is cooled with a fan and there’s no issue at all. It works like a charm.

Sounds promissing.
I’ll try it next month :wink: !
