Amazing for multi-color props

I use this to print cosplay props that require specific color patterns. The precision of the nozzle switching allows for clean color changes without needing to pause the print manually. Love it!

Great quality but needs tuning

The build quality is excellent as expected from E3D. It took some time to dial in the retraction settings for both nozzles, but once calibrated, the results are stunning. Highly recommend for advanced users.

Perfect for independent dual color prints

This hotend is exactly what I needed for my project. The ability to switch between two colors without oozing from the inactive nozzle is fantastic. Installation was straightforward on my custom frame.

Good product, steep learning curve

The hardware is top-notch, but if you are new to 3D printing, be prepared for a lot of trial and error with slicer settings. It's not plug-and-play for beginners, but the potential is there.

Reliable and robust

Used this for printing functional prototypes with support material switching. The thermal performance is stable, and the single heat sink block keeps the cooling efficient. Worth every penny.

Solid upgrade for single extruder setups

I was skeptical about using a dual nozzle system with a single extruder motor, but the Chimera design works flawlessly. The heat distribution is even, and I haven't had any clogging issues.

5 FAQ

Q: Can I use different nozzle sizes on each side?

A: Technically yes, as they use standard M6 threads, but we recommend using identical nozzle sizes to ensure consistent flow rates and simplify slicing profiles.

Q: Is this compatible with the standard E3D V6 mounting brackets?

A: Yes, the Chimera retains the same form factor as the V6, so it fits directly into existing V6 mounts and cooling ducts.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this hotend?

A: The Chimera hotend is rated for continuous operation up to 300°C, making it suitable for most common filaments including ABS and Nylon.

Q: Does the package include heater cartridges and thermistors?

A: Yes, the kit comes fully assembled with high-quality heater cartridges and thermistors pre-installed and tested.

Q: Does this hotend require two extruder motors to function?

A: No, the E3D Chimera is specifically designed to work with a single extruder drive mechanism while controlling two independent nozzles.
