Phaetus Conch Hotend-A1 Series Hotend Installation Guide
Phaetus currently offers three hotends compatible with the A1, namely the Standard Version, M4 Version, and Plus Version. The nozzle disassembly/assembly methods and materials of these three hotends vary, so you can select the one that best suits your actual usage requirements.
