Hotends LLC’s Story
Hotends.com was founded in 2011 with the principal mission to create a better more elegant hotend called the J-Head™. Since then the J-Head™ hotends have gone through many different revisions working to attain a solid working, fast printing, low part count, premium hotend.
In 2018 Hotends LLC founded by Nicholas Stratton was formed to assume ownership of hotends.com. Hotends LLC has a renewed focus on innovation while maintaining a high-quality product, setting industry standards, and supporting the 3D community.
“I just want to provide great products that help people do what they set out to do – just print!” – Nick
Being involved with 3D printing for many years as a professional and a hobbyist, I brought one home as a kit. I knew I was hooked. Over time, it had challenges, and I learned to fix them. As much as I loved to tinker, I got to a point where I just wanted to print. So my mission became clear—find a better way.
