Just got a @E3DOnline V6 hotend for an old printer. Nice upgrade! E3D, any chance you have switched from ATC Semitec 104NT-4-R025H42G to 104NT-4-R025H43G (ending in 43G instead of 42G). Similar parts, β different enough to be worth 10-15°C at printing temps.

5000 double pendulums, with a tiny (0.000001 rad) variation on starting angles. Color line connects original neighbours, thickness proportional to how close they remain (firs bifurcation starting at 0:12 provides a good understanding of what's going on).
