Installing FlowTech™ Hotend for Elegoo Centauri Carbon 1
This is my first time posting in this sub and I wanted to share my experience installing this hotend.
To be honest, I didn't have any problems with the stock hotend, but it fell short in my opinion.
And I wanted something more reliable to be able to print with abrasive or technical filaments.
To be honest, before buying it I researched how to disassemble it and thought that the problems other users were having were due to lack of experience or carelessness. I was incredibly surprised when I almost ended up ripping off the hotend connector next to the thermistor. That connector is literally not attached to the board or it has a bad design. In the end, I had to grab some pliers and hold the plastic of the board to be able to remove the connector.
In the end it worked out well and I already did the PID and the auto-leveling. The first layer came out spectacular and it's really an upgrade that I'm very happy with.
The filament is Creality PETG-CR. The next test, in two months, will be with the canvas installed when it arrives, I highly recommend this hotend. Maybe when I get some nylon or ABS and a 0.6 nozzle I'll clear up the rest of my doubts.
