How similar is the hotend to the E3D v6?

The website at https://www.makertech3d.com/pages/proforge-2s says under the Mechanics section this printer has "An all metal Hotend based on the E3D V6, ...". How similar is it, if I wanted or needed to buy replacement parts? Would original E3D nozzles and silicone covers fit the heater block supplied with the Proforge?

Genuine Standard E3D v6 Nozzles are working fine for me.

The sock looks pretty similar, and the heater block design is almost identical to a genuine so I don't see any significant problems with those fitting, but I have no way to test that.

    TMC2208 - Marlin

    Question 
    I’ve recently upgraded to the TMC2208’s and the bed will no longer home in the centre. Looking through the marlin firmware I can see that the X & Y clearly state the old TMC1200. if upgrading to the new TMC2208’s does the firmware need to updated?

    Recycling PLA filament

    Discussion 
    Hello, I backed the Axis 3D Kickstarter a few months ago, and while I'm waiting for it to be delivered in ~April-May time (it'll be my 1st 3D printer!) I've been ding some research about filament. I live in the East Riding of Yorkshire, and my council does not collect PLA for recycling / composting. What's the best way to responsibly dispose of it - e.g. failed prints etc? If there's no good way to do so, are there any alternative filaments that are easier to responsibly dispose of at the end of their useful life?

    Hot Head 2 - Temperature Fluctuations

    Discussion 
    Anyone know why I'm getting such wild temperature fluctuations on my 2nd hot head? Set at 195oC and as you can see from the image it fluctuates between 187oC and 207oC which is obviously too much of a variance. Hot head 1 is working perfectly and only fluctuates ~1oC
