Sourcing with Shipping
- Under $350 for full kit, shipping is 3-5 days - [10]. Uses J Head Nozzle. Ships "i3 rework" design: [11]
Sourcing Issues
- According to [14] - cheap chinese J Head counterfeits do not work - so make sure the hot end works
- J Head exists from the original manufacturer - $56 - but shipping is a flat rate. Takes 48 hours to ship, but shipping method is unspecified. Need to contact seller to see if they can provide fast shipping.
