BIQU H2 V2S Direct Drive – Extruder & Hotend Kit

As Makers who love to 3D Print all kinds of exotic toys, tools and other designs, it makes sense that we are often looking for ways to take advantage of unique and exotic filaments such as TPU, so that we can extend our capabilities and really start taking on bigger, better and more exciting challenges. However, as many experienced 3D Makers will know, sometimes the trickier filaments actually require more advanced components and machinery, and while it may be possible to print almost any standard materials with a standard setup, if you really want to enjoy great quality and mechanically-sound prints, it’s always a good idea to get the right equipment to do so. This is why we love awesome 3D printer upgrades like the BIQU H2 V2S Direct Drive Extruder & Hotend Kit, which is built for the BIQU B1 but fits a good range of other 3D printers, and offers powerful and lightweight direct drive extruding for all of those extra-tricky filaments like TPU, TPE and other flexible filaments.

What Makes the BIQU H2 DDS Extruder & Hotend Kit So Amazing?

The BIQU H2 V2S is the latest version of an incredible BIQU H2 hotend. This design is a well-known lightweight direct drive extruder and hotend. In addition to the ultra-low weight of only around 211 grams, the BIQU H2 V2S also offers upgraded materials with stainless steel gears and titanium-copper heatbreak, with the PTFE liner being the only plastic part involved in the design at all. This takes the printing temperature to 270°C. A streamlined heat dissipation design gives high speed cooling at these high temperatures. A dual gear extrusion offers fantastic precision control as well. Two gears grip and feed the filament. An tension lever makes loading and unloading so easy. Compared to the original BIQU H2, this H2 V2S version gives us an upgrade that steps up the smooth quality of our 3D prints.

Of course, if the above features weren’t enough, this beautiful DDS extruder has been cleverly designed with multiple mounting points on all sides, allowing users to install it onto a wide range of existing extruder/hotend mounting brackets, and ensuring that as many 3D Makers as possible can enjoy the amazing benefits that the BIQU H2 V2S Hotend is capable of providing. And while it may not quite natively mount directly to the mounting brackets of all 3D printers, the somewhat universal mounting points provided make it quite easy to design and print your own mount to cater to whatever machine you want to install it onto.

Typical Applications for the BIQU H2 V2S Direct Drive Extruder & Hotend Kit:

The BIQU H2 V2S Direct Drive Extruder & Hotend Kit is quite versatile when it comes to what 3D printers it can be integrated onto. However, it is important to note that most machines will require a 3D printed (or otherwise manufactured) bracket to mount the DDS extruder onto the carriage effectively. As 3D Makers, that’s a relatively easy thing to achieve with some time and 3D modelling tinkering. However, not everyone has that time or skill. Fortunately, BIQU is already thinking ahead by giving us official mount bracket STL’s to fit various 3D printers compatible with the BIQU H2 VS2. So, whether you want to upgrade your BIQU B1 with a beautifully designed and well-engineered hotend upgrade, or if you want to convert your trusty Ender Series 3D Printer to a direct drive for taking on more advanced 3D materials, the BIQU H2 V2S is one of the best and most versatile extruder/hotend combos that we’ve had the pleasure of reviewing and stocking so far.

Although many people may not quite recognise the name, BIQU is a fantastic brand that originated as BigTreeTech, and began their journey in the 3D Printing world by creating motherboards and other electronics that were made to enhance the functionality, ease of use and overall capabilities of other 3D Printers. However, after gaining a firm popularity as some the leaders in 3D Upgrades, they have also now branched off and created BIQU, a brand dedicated to creating entire 3D Printers for hobbyists like us.

Compared to many of the brands on the market, what we particularly love about BIQU is the way that their models come fully equipped with all of the exciting BigTreeTech controller boards, stepper drivers and other awesome components that are typically installed into other 3D Printers as powerful upgrades. These include the popular SKR motherboards, the BTT TMC Drivers, BTT TFT displays and other minor (but still valuable) upgrades that are often installed on Creality 3D Printers, but since these “upgrades” come stock on BIQU 3D Printers, you can enjoy even more reliable operations and functionality due to the fact that their machines are built specifically with their own boards and components in mind. This has resulted in BIQU creating some of the leading 3D Printers on the market, which don’t need any upgrades or improvements to match the quality of leading brands, and with many of the BIQU models actually surpassing the quality and capabilities of most other Hobbyist 3D Printers on the market.

If you love the idea of upgrading 3D Printers with all kinds of fun and functional upgrades, but aren’t too interested in getting a basic model that you have to actually upgrade yourself, the BIQU range of 3D Printers is the answer, bringing excellent quality coupled with all of the current best features available to 3D Makers.
