Progress is a bit slower than I'd like, but I did manage to get enough things done to put together this test assembly of the hot end. I have a 3A 12V power supply kicking around, so I wired it up. I also connected the thermocouple which was removed to take these shots.
The heater reached 210C pretty quickly, I'd say about a minute and a half, possibly less. I didn't leave it connected, as I don't have the circuit boards for the extruder controller put together yet, just connect/disconnect while watching the meter. In this limited test the heatsink stayed relatively cool. More testing is needed to see how it holds up under actual use.
