-=( Plate Mount / mk7 / mk8 /qu-bd upgrade hotends )=-

After quite a few people asking "when" a plate mount version is going to be available i decided i may as well make one sooner rather than later as part of the mk7 style extruder hotend i was planning on doing,

it can be used in several configurations, either on it's own with the plate it comes with or as a drop in replacement for the mk7/mk8/qu-bd hotend which apparently aren't as reliable as they could be

i'm putting this hotend up on ebay and later up in the 3dindustries store so those who want one, those are the places to look,

I thought I might clear something up about the Aluhotends given the number of questions people keep asking me
