All metal hot end VS good heatbreak

[Alexndl]

I am reviewing option for hot end upgrade for PETG print with my ender 5

Do I really need to upgrade?
And if yes can you help me deciding which option is best


Option 1
Micro Swiss all metal hot end

Option 2
Slice copperhead bimetal heatbreak for ender hot end

I like option 2 since I wont have to redo wiring change the heating cartridge and thermistor


Wondering what you guys think?

Th3d ti tough heat break is an option too.

I will add though. The switch a full metal high-end for me has been tricky. I'm having to redo all my profiles , fine tuning the retraction and flow rates for the petg I'm still struggling with

I switched to full metal hot end about a year and half ago and it's been amazing!
I only use the cheap import/clone ($8-$10) ... But, I did upgrade to titanium heat break to combat heat creep (I had issues when ambient temp was above 80-85f)

I do believe the clone/import are 99% of the way to the expense stuff ... The only difference being QC ... But the price difference still makes it worth it ...
