Best V6 Silicone Socks For Insulation We\’ve Found

June 7, 2019 By britech3d@gmail.com 0

e3d as any 3D printer maven knows, makes fantastic and creative products at the cutting edge of our technology. However frankly their standard design for the Silicone Socks for insulation on the V6 Hotends suck. They don\’t fit well, tend to come partially free on a regular basis and at their worse will fall off and potentially ruin a print if you aren\’t watching.

Which is why we are excited to offer this new design of insulating silicone sock we found. Fully tested on one of our CR-10 printers, it fits tight, stays tight and doesn\’t fall off. Just wish we could find ones similar in usability for the V6 High Temperature or PT100 heater blocks.
