The Longsword Hotend is replaced by its successor, the Organ Pipe Hotend.
This page describes the Longsword hotend.
Introduction:
Meanwhile there are a lot of hotends available. Most of them require a lathe to make them.
The Longsword differs from those hotends in 3 major aspects.
1.) The Longsword does not require a lathe. All you need is a drill press and some other ordinary tools.
2.) The Longsword does not consist of PEEK.
3.) The Longsword isn't just simply a hotend, but rather thought as a kind of hotend construction kit. That means you can make parts like the cooling bar and the lower barrel from other materials as steel or brass, just to try them out. You won't need to build a whole new hotend.
