Tired of hotends that fail to deliver true high-performance? If you’re seeking an upgrade beyond the usual options, the Chube Hotend is your solution. Engineered for high flow, rapid printing speeds, and elevated temperatures, it offers a dependable and affordable design with patent-pending technology. Nothing else in this class combines these features so effectively. Your search ends here. Massive meltzone in a compact hotend Available with a 42mm or 52mm meltzone in either Air or Conduction configurations, the Chube Hotend ranks among the most compact high-flow hotends available. Despite its generous meltzone size, it remains lightweight, with the Air version weighing 69g and the Conduction variant 74g. Its ratio of overall length to meltzone is exceptional, delivering unmatched grams per meltzone performance in a hotend capable of reaching 500°C. Featuring Chalice Heatbreak technology The Chalice Heatbreak uses aerospace materials combined with a hardened, lubricious surface treatment to provide an unrivaled printing experience. The thin, unibody break can withstand extreme temperatures and abrasive materials with ease while still preventing heat creep; keeping the surrounding components cold. The cup design of Chalice provides an ideal seat for the bowden tube and smoothly guides filament into the generous meltzone. All components rated for 500c operation - including the provided metal cooling shield! The Chube Hotend is constructed from premium materials engineered to withstand harsh polymers and demanding conditions. Each component is rated for operation at 500°C block temperature and 300°C ambient temperature. Its integrated stainless steel part-cooling shield not only safeguards against thermal shock but also ensures consistent polymer flow while reducing power consumption compared to silicone-based alternatives. Extremely stiff for faster printing The patent-pending tube [/tʃuːb/] structure of the Chube provides an exceptional high-speed printing experience. Strength is a core property of the Chube design. No more broken hotends from nozzle swaps. No more failed supports, or snapped heatbreaks, from barely-lifted prints. The strength and rigidity also translates to print quality - reducing deflection during acceleration provides a faster, cleaner print; increasing productivity while retaining part quality. Uses Standardized Components We believe in standards. The Chube Hotend maintains compatibility with common RepRap nozzles, cartridge heaters, and temperature sensors. All components are easily available and non-proprietary. No more tiny threads - M3 only! However, some standards need to change for the better. Operators can rejoice that the Chube Hotend is assembled and mounted with M3 hardware - not M2.5, not M1.6, no smaller hardware is anywhere on the unit. Not only does the Chube Hotend have M3 hardware, but the flathead screws are torx, which significantly reduces the likelihood of stripping. In addition to user-friendly hardware, the Chube Hotend also utilizes a new 6x18mm bolt pattern: this provides multiple fastening options, unidirectional strength, and a reliable connection to your motion system, even with plastic toolheads. 100% Manufactured and Assembled in the USA What's included with my Chube Hotend? 1 torx key 1 hex key 2 spare grub screws 2 spare torx screws Chube sticker Luke's Lab sticker MOUNTING INFORMATION: Mass: Air - 69g Conduction 74g Download Integration CADHere Heater/Thermistor Install Dimensions: 25.4mmx60mm Cylinder Bolt circle: 18mm Diameter, 6 M3 Holes equally spaced Read more in depth about the features here: Chubehotend.com Tools Included: T10 Hex Key 1.5mm Hex Key Chalicebreak Wrench Compatible Components: Temperature Sensor: 3mm OD, 15mm Length Heater - Air: 6mm OD, 20-22mm Length, Conduction: 6mm OD, 47mm length
