The new parcan hotend is a great design, in that it is much easier to secure to a standard wade extuder.
In this case attachment is achieved by way of two M3 x 40 bolts through the extruder cold end.
I am still struggling with calibration of the reprap prusa build but this new hotend will remove the issues I had with the wobbly old one.
I have managed to print a new big wade gear which came out OK, still some work required with the extruded steps I think and maybe a new hobbled bolt design.
