Creality K1 Hot-End Comparisons

Let's play "Spot the differences"!

We received some new inventory, and one of these things ...was not like the other (Sesame alumni, we are!). FYI, here are some differences between the K1 series of hot-ends. I don't believe them to be "OMG!" differences, but just worth noting. We've had good results with both styles, but of course the red-sock version is preferred.

Of course, neither are of the latest Creality "Unicorn" technology, which you /can/ upgrade your older K1 to, but we've had consistently good results with this hotend revision.

Items might not be on the website yet, but they are in-store at Active-Tech Calgary.

Hmmm... what's that big truck bringing? ...

Well, what a pleasant surprise - a large truck dropped by today and delivered our shipment of GM10 gear motors! They're $12.00/ea or $9.50/ea USD in pairs ($15.50/ea or $12.75/ea in pairs for Canadians) - much less expensive than converting nanoservos!
