My Seckit SK-GO is destined to receive high end 3D printer parts, the latest being this new Copperhead hit end from Slice Engineering. It’s rated for up to 450 degrees C, so I had to purchase some ridiculously expensive PEEK filament to test it properly.

Overall, this is a quality product, but comes at significant expense. It’s really only going to be viable if you have specific requirements such as 3D printing in PEEK or ULTEM. Hopefully I have a print project in the future that can benefit from this.

The Copperhead hot end, PEEK filament and Dimifix adhesive were all purchased with my own money. All opnions expressed are my own.

Purchase the Slice Engineering Copperhead hot end: https://www.sliceengineering.com/prod...
Select a heat break, hot block and heat sink to suit your printer. You’ll also potentially need a heater cartridge, thermistor, fan, etc depending on what you want to keep from your existing setup.
