I added this hotend to my Vellman 8200, What all has to be changed in slicer or marlin? does not want to extrude or starts ok then by 2nd or 3rd layer it stops extruding, .40 nozzle
Wth the E3D you normally need a 15-20°C higher temp setting for extrusion, due to it’s smaller melting zone.
You might also have to recalibrate your extrusion multiplier and/or extruder steps/mm.
Don’t forget to set the nozzle size to 0.4.

Thanks, Ill give it a try
If you want to print flex or large parts fast, consider getting a Volcano Kit for your hotend.
I mounted mine yesterday and it was a great improvement in speed.
Also now i can print with lower temperatures as well, which gives less warping.
Only caveat : Volcano nozzles start at 0.6mm …
cheers,
