Phaetus Conch Hot End for Qidi Plus 4 (Various Nozzle Diameters) - Fully Complete with Heater and Thermistor Installed

The first one I got of these was not as great as I was expecting. I figured I simply got one that wasnt up to snuff and gave it a go again.

This time, its doing great! I am going to chalk up the first one to my usual luck (bad). And you cant beat getting stuff from West3D.

Definitely give this hot end a go.

OMG..... Amazing. The old Qidi hot end snapped the nozzle at the heat break. I replaced it with the Phaetus. WHAT A DIFFERENCE!
The exact same G-code printed FLAWLESSLY. No strings.... No blobs. PERFECT. I know there was a review that said it didn't "fit" because it was too wide. Not the case, at least anymore. PERFECT. I'll never go back. It also uses the less expensive EMD V6 style nozzles.
I also bought a tungsten carbide .6 nozzle,($35!) but I don't even want to mess with installing it, because it's works SO WELL out of the box with the hardened steel nozzle. If you have a Plus 4... Just swap out the hot end. Well worth it. The color differential in the pics is lighting. I'm impressed.
The picture is of a holder I designed for our outdoor solar powered torches.

This nozzle so far prints fantastic, I need to figure out the pid tuning process but even with the temp jumping around a couple degrees the prints are better than stock.
