I have two anycubic printers, Mega Pro and Mega Zero, I purchased a few all metal hot ends from 3DPC, the printer’s have variations of v5 clone hot ends.
The stock ones have a smooth body at the top, where they slide into the main body and get attached with two set screws, these are threaded. They are also slightly different between then even with the same part number.
Will these work for my machines?
Secondly,
what machine is this meant for, I ordered it expecting a 3piece part I could use as parts, but it’s only two components the nozzle is fixed
I can’t answer any of your questions, but I would point out that the J-Head Hotend has a 12V heater cartridge. Just be aware of it since most printers are based on 24V power supplies.
To the best of my knowledge the hot end is a variant on a titan. This is a smooth top with threads on the bottom. If memory serves the any cubic has a flange making it unique. If this is correct you would need to replace the whole hot end and redo the mounts and likely adjust the firmware to accept the new hot end. The Jhead you have pictured is an odd one, although I don’t recognize it it is likely for one line of printers.
Your heatbreak looks something like this?
This is the Kraken one (used it the titan). If that is your heartbreak the threaded ones will not fit. If I am correct the any cubic have a flange and this will not fit. I personally I will not buy a printer again that is using something made for that particular company.
The mega zero doesn’t have a heated bed so IMO no point to having an all metal hotted if you can’t use high temp materials. If it were me I might consider a full new hot end to a real e3d they are simply mad better than the clones. It is a lot of fussy work it might not be worth your time if you are only interested in printing. If the printer is the hobby I’d do it.
I suspect that any cubic is owned by Creatily parent company why the hot end is a reality type.
We know Reality and creatwit are the same parent.

It isn’t a big stretch to believe:
Shenzhen Anycubic Technology Co., Ltd is also
Same for Artillery, Anet, Bigtree, and likely a lot more.
When I ordered there was no photo so I thought I was ordering the smooth / threaded style. Not sure if it’s worth reordering for the v5 or just going to a V6?
I’d either use the original replacement or replace the whole hot end. The Kraken I don’t think will fit. I tend to use E3D originals they are superior in construction and smoothness.
Hi Jason, I’ve just got my Ender3 back from repair at 3D Printing Canada and having an issue from the beginning. Where do I start a post and how do I fined where to go for help if there is nothing on the forum that relates to this issue?
To start a new post, go to the “hamburger menu” - yes, that’s what it’s called. 20 Years in IT and I didn’t know that before coming here. It’s the center icon at the top-right - it’s three horizontal bars. After clicking on that, select “new”. At the bottom-right of your screen you’ll see a blue circle with white “+” in it. That starts a new topic. Select a category that’s appropriate and ask away.
