Hemera vs Titan aqua, or are they basically the same? Cuz i was gonna get the aqua but i wanna make sure it does all the same stuff as the hemera.

One of the best upgrades for the E3D V6 is a copper heat block. A titanium heatbreak is also a good upgrade. If you need to print more material, try updrading to a Bondtech CHT nozzle. The plastic nut that mounts the E3D heatsink always comes loose. To fix this, add a *thin* 12 x 1.5mm zinc plated nut with an internal star lock washer. The lock washer will dig into the printed plastic mount as well as the nut, keeping it from coming loose during your print. Use needle nose vice grips to hold the heat sink in place and tighten gently on the nut with a socket.
