O boy does this thing look pretty, but like a crazy girlfriend they can look really nice, just remember you have to live with them. I can't even say $7 is worth it, I would rather burn the money in a fire pit, I have spent way more than what I saved, in time, trying to get this thing to work right. and that is after waiting 1.5 months to get it. 1. This is not an all metal hot end. There is a ptfe tube in it, that doesn't even line up right. If you want a crash course in how to unclog a hot end, boy golly buy this thing, youll be an expert by then tenth time you do it. 2. The glass thermistor comes in a plastic bag, that's shipped in a paper parcel. Mine didn't make the trip. and was broken on arrival the usual -14 temperature symbol on the ender 3 announced this luckily before I ran the line through the jacket. No big I have another one. 3. The brass nozzle one this "all metal hot end" is short. SHORT. so if you have an upgraded or printed carriage I hope it doesn't rely on a standard length nozzle. 4. This leaky SOB will put pla above and below the hot end. make sure you tighten the "all metal" ptfe tube holder tightly to the block, even then you may get a nice batch of goo on the top of the block. 5. The J connector is not the standard one for ender 3, youll either ahve to unclip the current one and unpin it. or jam the individual pins into your board, i recommend the former. I can't believe I am complaining about a chinese hot end, cause I knew what I was getting into. Do not buy this, I would rather take a chance on some Wish shoes, than do this again. What a total piece of caca. if you do decide to run this gauntlet look up some videos on how to properly place a thermistor before you put this one in if you haven't before, God Speed.
