Different hot blocks on the Mk4?

Hi all,

I'm just curious. I'm wondering if it would be possible to have a different hot block, for example, the Volcano or Copperhead on the Mk4, since the thread on the adapter seems like it would be possible. Obviously, if I were to do this, I would have to maybe change the fan shroud slightly, but do you think it would be beneficial or possible?

RE:

Yes, it's possible and benefitial,

(I haven't tried this myself).

It's not clear to me why MK4 doesn't come with a longer hotend. Flow rate can be a limiting factors when running with input shaper even on a smaller printers, like Prusa Mini. The anemic flow rate of Plusa printers looks especially bad in XL.  I hope it gets fixed in the next iteration.

Has anyone tried this ceramic heat block from amazon?  There's only 1 review:
