I broke my barrel. Where can I buy a replacement?

I over-tightened the extruder nozzle, and the brass barrel snapped. Im a little surprised how easy it is to do that!
Now, I can only find replacement kits that contain the entire hotend (and they are not exactly cheap at ~100 euro). Is there any place where you can order just the brass nozzle and barrel ? Ive emailed parts@velleman.be, but while Im waiting for a response, is there is a place on ebay or somethingbecause I have a strong feeling this will not have been the last time I snapped the barrel.

You should probably consider getting another replacement instead. Take a look here. I am playing with the same thinking…

I already saw that, and in fact, ordered the same one. But Ill need a working extruder to print the mount :slight_smile:

Moreover, I want two extruders, one for PLA, one for ABS. So I still want a fix for my stock extruder that preferably doesnt cost me 100 euro.

Hi P4man,

extruder and hotend are two different things - which one do you want to double? Just the hotend or extruder plus hotend?

Cheers,

Sorry, I meant two hotends, so I have no problems with traces of the “wrong” filament when switching from PLA to ABS.

Can I just give three thumbs up for Velleman support?
I emailed them on Sunday, I got a reply monday morning 9:15 am, (first workday of the year) offering a complete hotend at a very reasonable price.

When we where shopping around for a 3D printer, my brother insisted we bought the velleman printer because of the after sales support, and although the printer itself is not without flaws, I have not regretted this for one second. Thank you Velleman for providing fantastic support!
