Question 1

Is this hotend compatible with the Prusa I3 MK3S+?

Accepted Answer

The listing states it is compatible with Prusa I3 MK3 and Prusa I3 MK3S+. However, one reviewer reported a thermal anomaly error on their MK3S+ and another said the thermistor was installed on the wrong side for the MK3S+ and was stuck.

Question 2

Does it fit and install like the original hotend?

Accepted Answer

Multiple reviewers said it fits the machine perfectly and installs easily, with one noting it fits like the original. One reviewer advised tightening everything before running the test print.

Question 3

Are any parts missing or not included that I should know about?

Accepted Answer

Reviewers noted the silicone tube/PTFE tube piece is not included and must be made to Prusa specifications, and the heater element comes without connectors or wire end ferrules. One reviewer also mentioned no crimp connectors on the thermistor cable ends.

Question 4

Does it actually work and print well?

Accepted Answer

Several reviewers reported it works as expected and prints cleanly once calibrated, and the listing describes a volcanic design with a smooth nozzle interior that reduces jamming and supports high-speed printing. However, one reviewer got a thermal anomaly error and returned it, and another found the nozzle clogged immediately.

What filament types does it support?

Accepted Answer

The listing states it works with 1.75mm PLA/ABS/PETG/TPU/Wood filament.
