I didn't even notice the thermistor was on the OTHER SIDE of the heating cartridge from the nozzle - what were they thinking? At first, I liked the concept of being able to pull the entire filament path out of the hot end without having to disassemble it. In hindsight, given the price, that probably means a replacement nozzle will cost $50 :>

I looked at the Pico, and it looks like it would have a similar problem, a very large heater block area

I posted exactly how and why it jams consistently, it's not my opinion. I didn’t even mention how unless you use high temp sealant upon assembling it leaks like late term pregnant women. There's also Trinity's crap customer service, it's epic; search the RepRap forum for Trinity Labs.

I've had the most luck getting PLA not to jam by either rebuilding the hot end (to make sure no plastic leaked to a place where it's not supposed to be) or drying the filament. PLA that fights tooth and nail can print like butter after I take it out of my filament dryer, which is just a sealed bucket with some molecular sieve dessicant in the bottom.

I got one of these. I am installing it now and will post an update soon. I was able to get it mounted up really nice, it's well made.
