Will a 2025 PCB and hotend work on a 2023 model K1?

I understand that the 2025 PCB and hotend versions are incompatible individually with their older counterparts due to different connectors but if I install both the 2025 PCB and hotend will they work on the older machine or they just entirely incompatible?

cheers

Yes, i have K1 max 2023 and it works fine.

Thanks Mars, much appreciated. Is there anything else that needs to be changed at the same time as the pcb board and hotend?

Can I ask which hotend you’re using?

The hotend connector is different, you will need adapter wiring from micro swiss or newer hotend with new connector type.
