I could ask my CNC Guy if you want but honnestly As he has the original design and the source is quite good we should use the original idesgn no ?
The min quantity of order is 20 units. I can souce the Thermistors and hot ends also
Custom hot ends for the Zim
Hi Folks,
We’re experiencing some issues with the 3dprintermods site. I hope to have them resolved later today. Sorry for the inconvenience.
The original design really isn’t that good. I had multiple originals leak due to that silly little nut that requires a special tool. Insomnia’s design is better. It uses open source, readily available, and inexpensive parts.
Whew! So glad to hear it 
Just sent you an email. Again without your parts my Zim would be a really expensive doorstop so thank you!
I suppose that you are talking about this tool ?
I never hard leaking issue with these nozzles. On the first batch some nozzles were not tightened enough. Manufacturing quality issues. They have solved this very quickly
I just finished to assemble the first nozzles.
I asked a friend to setup a web page on his site. The final price is 25€.
I was’nt able to match the 25us$ (crazy freight costs)
the link of the shop is there

Now If you want to try to improve this nozzle or change the nozzle diameter. It can be done for 10 nozzles orders (0.5, 0,6 or more)
Yep, that’s the one.
Quite easy to manufacture.
At the beginning I was using a modifed old plyer 
Mine is expensive because I requested a Specific strong steel. I am assembling 20 nozzles 
Hi Everyone,
Wanted to take a few moments to update you guys. I manufactured another batch of hot ends for stock which are now available on 3dprintermods.com and Amazon, so there’s no threat of lack of availability. I should have sufficient stock to last quite a while.
I’ve made a thermistor repair kit available for purchase on 3dprintermods.com. The kit contains everything necessary to replace a faulty thermistor. As always if you’d rather send them in for repair you may do so.
Thanks!

Both conversion ktis work well (after changing the thermistor 
).
Really great would also be an adapter set with this BSB thread to M6 so we could also use our old heater blocks but with new (standard) nozzles.

“Really great would also be an adapter set with this BSB thread to M6 so we could also use our old heater blocks but with new (standard) nozzles.”
I had initially planned to simply make a conversion kit for the Zim stock heat block, however after some thought I shelved the idea due to the fact that there were no other replacement parts available. The replacement hot end is a more versatile solution and can be easily replaced if there is a failure. If I had simply made the adapter like you are suggesting, the Zim would be reduced to little more than a door stop if the stock heat block were to fail.
There are a very limited number of Zims out there and with zeepro gone, the printers days are numbered. I made the Hot ends because I have that unique capability and empathised with everyone else who got the shaft when zeepro folded, I’ve spent more than I’ve taken in making these parts (and I did it all myself). Replacement parts for the Zim will never be a money making endeavor due to the sheer limited number of printers that were ever made. But I did it because I knew nobody else would and somebody had to.

Well, at least I started (bought Aluminium and did CAD work) to create the same you did: blocks with M6 in it but bought a pair at your shop as it was the fastest way
The main idea behind asking about adapters was that i have 6 (or 8?) original ZIM heater blocks in my repairshop.
Hi Guys,
Hope everyone is doing well. Just wanted to let you know that our Throat pieces are now 33mm Long. The new throat pieces will fit your Custom Hot ends and eliminate the need for the spacer piece we’ve been shipping with the latest Hot Ends. The New 33mm Throat piece fits with the same Factory tolerance the original hot ends provided.
Our Hot ends have come a long way since we rushed them to you guys 10 months ago. The new longer throat piece is the last item on our journey to create a reliable replacement Hot End for the Zim. All previous issues have now been resolved.
Hello
I just received the New heater blocs for the ZIM. It is the latest design that haven’t been launched by Zeepro. .
the new shape create more distance between the heater bloc and the blower duct 
Il can glue the Heater cartidge and the thermistor. the Same as Zeepro glue. or deliver it separatly.
My Friend B-Fastr will soon put them on his website 
Let me now your interest we are going to receive also a new batch of nozzles.

Just pulled my Zim back out, was actually a beta tester from Kickstarter way back then. I was wondering if you still had any more of your custom manufactured heat blocks. Would save me a ton of time. thanks
Yes, I will take 6 or more depending on the price!!!
I was trying to get these before!

I would also be interested in 3, do you have a price in mind?
