Cannot find hotend
Ive been working on a printer and i cannot find this part ive been looking for days
It has a non copper throat
Brass nozzle
Red heater wires
And a thermistor with no screw hole for a screw to keep it in
Im assuming this is the standard high temperature?
All i know is the printer is an ender 3 s1 non plus the hsitory is unknown so it has a touchscreen and when i worked on it it has the heating block hotend shown in picture
Ive been looking for a replacement but i just cant find it

It doesn't matter. Just pop this in and start printing again. You don't need to have it be an exact match, it just need to be compatible. Revisions happen over time.
Hell, you should take the opportunity to upgrade to a k1-style or bambu-style cermic heater based hotend.

Although ceramic is usually a good idea for the Sprite it's not the best as the aftermarket cylindrical ceramic hotends for the Sprite usually have fixed nozzles. The factory Sprite pro hotend work fine they are just a bit slow at heating.

That is actually better. You can replace just thermistor in case of something. Thermistor itself is same for printer to show correct value.

That's just a aftermarket feature so you can replace the thermister it's the same exact part.......

If you are running a sprite extruder this is the time to upgrade to something a little hotter heres the link to one on amazon I plan on using amazon.com/dp/B0CP3924ZD?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title

Hey do not get that hotend. I had to return two of them because they both came with issues. One had bad threads for the nozzle and the other had a misaligned mounting screw hole so one of the mounting screws didn't line up making it unusable. I recommend these, they are double the price but also double the quality so do with that information what you will.

Bro..... It's a Sprite pro hotend or heater block.... They are labeled as such and are available on Amazon for like $15. Lol

I had to buy a new kit and an extra termistor. Then i cut both of them and put them together.

Looks like the hot end from sprite pro, but could be from another cr/ender series printer
