I would HIGHLY recommend this one: https://gulfcoast-robotics.com/collecti ... 3d-printer

If you have the 24V A30, just put a note in checkout and ask for 24V electronics.

Are you using that one?
Does it fit in the vanilla A30 out the box? (Cables, mesurements)
How do i know if it is the 24 volt A30?

Sorry for that many questions. I just trying to make sure, i dont mess it up :)

And thank you for the tip /Advice

Not yet, but I plan to. It's the best E3D V6 clone I could find. Plus, Gulfcoast Robotics has excellent customer support.
You'll need to shorten the wires. I believe this hotend is slightly shorter, so if you plan to use the stock setup you may need to use a mod like this: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3135296

Me personally I plan to use a Petsfang: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:2993902

To figure if you have a 12v or 24v you'll need to open up the control box and read the label on the side of the power supply.

thank for your Help.

I think i messed up my out of the box hotend before a could have clean prints, so i cant print the petsfang ^^

i found a very good rated e3d v6 clone in europe, thats makes it a lot cheaper and will not have to pay any customs :)
Thanks, very much for that great hint
