Product Information
Are you searching to buy E3D genuine Volcano silicone socks in Australia? Find all our stocked E3D products by clicking here. This pack contains 3 high - temperature non - stick silicone socks. They fit the E3D Volcano and other HotEnds with a Volcano - style heater block using thermistor cartridges. They won't fit the older screw - washed clamped thermistor - style Volcano heater block. These socks keep your heater block clean, free from burnt plastic. They also trap heat inside the HotEnd, away from your print. Made of heat - resistant, non - stick silicone, they repel molten plastic build - up, great for sticky materials. They boost temperature stability, especially with high - airflow cooling around the nozzle, enabling better overhangs and bridges while keeping the HotEnd temperature stable. The covers easily push onto the front of the HotEnd without disassembly. They're tight when cold and expand to fit snugly when hot. They fit nozzle sizes from 0.4mm to 1.20mm. The pack of 3 is a great choice as they're durable but not everlasting. Depending on your printing materials and usage, they can last 100+ hours, even longer with less sticky materials. All our E3D parts are genuine, sourced directly from e3d - online.com. Buy from experts who use 3D printers daily. Have questions? Get in touch. Need something 3D printed?

Using these E3D Volcano silicone socks is a breeze. Just push the covers onto the front of the HotEnd without having to take anything apart. When you first put them on while they're cold, they'll be a tight fit, but don't worry. Once the HotEnd heats up, the silicone will expand to fit snugly. As for usage, these socks are great for a variety of 3D printing tasks. They work well with different materials, especially sticky ones like co - polyesters and filled - composite materials. If you use high - airflow cooling around the nozzle, they'll really help with temperature stability and print quality. Now, for some notes. They won't fit the older screw - washed clamped thermistor - style Volcano heater block, so make sure you have the right type. Also, although they're durable, they won't last forever. Depending on what you print and how rough you are on them, their lifespan can vary. With sticky and abrasive materials, they should last at least 100+ print hours. For less sticky materials like ABS, you can expect a much longer life. To maintain them, just keep an eye on the build - up of plastic. If there's a lot, you can gently clean them, but be careful not to damage the silicone. And that's it! You're all set to enjoy better 3D printing with these silicone socks.
