Hotend for D9 and i3 Mark 2

Wanhao are some of the leading manufacturers and designers of desktop 3D Printers within the industry, but even their famous Duplicator Series of printers are not immune to the odd fault or problem, which is why we stock a wide range of spare parts and replacements for all of the machines we stock. This Hotend for the D9 and i3 Mark 2 is one of these Wanhao Original Spares that we stock, to ensure that if you ever experience problems or even a disaster with your Duplicator 9, you can get the right parts to get your printer back in operation and get you back to the fabrication fun you love.

Although the astute among you may notice that these hotend are not designed to the exact same specifications as the hotends that come installed on the Duplicator 9 3D Printer, it is actually slightly more advanced than the originals, and because it was made by Wanhao themselves, it is still perfectly compatible and will work like a charm – or possibly even better than the original. The unit comes with a heater block, an effective insulating silicone sock, as well as a specialised heatbreak that goes though the block and a 0.4mm Nozzle – all of which is perfectly machined and designed to operate well at extreme temperatures of between 260° and 300°C.

Wanhao have been supplying 3D Printers internationally since as early as 2012, and have rapidly garnered a world-renowned reputation for quality machines, parts and components. After originally banding together as a group of friends and purchasing a Makerbot Thing-O-Matic, they created their own “Duplicator 1” 3D Printer, which was essentially a replica of the Thing-O-Matic, with slight modifications and alterations to make it better suit typical users.

Wanhao’s strengths have always stemmed from the fact that they are both 3D Makers and 3D Printer Manufacturers, which allows them to understand the needs of the end user when developing new models or upgrades. It is the same reason why they always make sure to stock spares of all of the different parts and components, because they believe that you should never have to buy an entirely new printer if one part breaks, and should instead be able to simply replace whichever part is broken.

There are few 3D Printing manufacturers with as much experience and reputation as Wanhao, which is why we have chosen them as one of our top suppliers here at DIYElectronics. Not only do they continue to bring out exciting new models and upgrades for existing models, but they also align with our own company culture and values by proactively supplying all of the spare parts that customers might need – so that you, as an end user, never have to source spares or alternatives if you have problems with faulty or broken parts throughout the lifespan of your 3D Printer.
