Description
While swapping the hotend on the P2S / H2D / H2S / H2C (left) / X2D is generally easy, actually gripping it can be tricky, especially if it gets stuck and needs to be removed while hot.
This model is made to help with exactly that.
These pliers / tongs / clamps are specifically designed for the tight space around the P2S hotend and X2D. They should also work with the H2D, H2S, and H2C, and with the A1 if an H2D-style hotend is installed.
Note:
The ABS variant also includes a rear “unclip” helper. This was removed from the PETG version because that part of the hotend can get hotter than PETG can safely withstand.
That said, if you always unclip the hotend while it is cold, you can also print the ABS version in PETG if you want the added helper feature.
Beware:
While this model can reduce the risk of burning your fingers, please still be careful when removing a hotend while it is hot!!
Yes I tried to make it look like a crocodile 😂 I added the tail later on to make it look more like a crocodile. 😅 In that instance it was more like function follows form 😂
