Discontinued Parts

Looking to replace parts no longer offered on our website? We have solutions. 

re:3D's Recommendation: 

We recommend upgrading your GB2 with re:3D's All Metal Hot End. Instructions can be found here. The All Metal Hot End is only compatible with Azteeg 2.0 controller boards and 24V systems. Please refer to the photo below to determine your Azteeg version. If you have a 1.0, you will need to upgrade the control board and potentially other components to install the All Metal Hot End. 

GB2 Thermistor

Maker Farm, our previous supplier, no longer exists, so the 100k thermistor that is used in the J-head hot end needs to be purchased elsewhere. Hotends.com has this 100k thermistor (NTC 100K beta 3950) for purchase, but it can only be used with their J-head. Other 100k thermistors may be able to be used with your existing J-head, but we have not validated any such component or supplier. You can learn more about the 100k thermistors here: Link to RepRap Wiki

J-head

Maker Farm, our previous supplier of J-head hot ends, no longer exists, so the hot end must be purchased elsewhere. The replacement hot end for the J-head is available for purchase through hotends.com, which can be found here: Link to purchase page. Make sure to select the heater cartridge with the proper voltage for your machine, 12V or 24V. Only GB2-002 to GB2-014 have the 12V system, assuming they have not been upgraded.

Greg Wade's Type Extruder (Gigabot 2 Extruder)

While difficult to obtain, some users are still building and selling these online. The RepRap Wiki may include a link to eBay sellers offering hardware kits. We have compiled the part files here so that you can print them: Link to Greg Wade Extruder part files. We highly recommend printing the gears in ABS or Nylon with 6 perimeters and 65% infill to achieve the strength and durability required for this functional part. For the Greg Wade extruder, you should print it in ABS or polycarbonate with 4 perimeters and 50% infill.
