Silicone Sock for E3D V6 hotends or clones
Source: Thingiverse by gulfcoast_robotics
The Silicone Sock for E3D V6 hotends or clones is a free printable 3D model from Thingiverse by gulfcoast_robotics. After E3D released new heater block with cartridge thermistor, and silicone sock for this block, we realized that older type of V6 heater blocks are not compatible with new sock. You can download the STL file from the original listing below and print it at home.
About this model
After E3D released new heater block with cartridge thermistor, and silicone sock for this block, we realized that older type of V6 heater blocks are not compatible with new sock. We designed and manufactured this sock to be compatible with older V6 style heater block. Our silicone sock design will not get loose. During testing of various prototypes we came to conclusion that "easy to install and remove" sock is not having good grip, getting loose over some period of time and can even get off during the print. Our sock provides complete glove-like grip all over heater block body. We publish 2 versions of silicone sock - with closed and open nozzle. Published STL files are downsized to about 97% to achieve 100% size under the heat. STLs we publish here can be used to create negative mold des…
