Get the new and improved high - temperature non - stick silicone socks for E3D HotEnds from Phaser FPV in Australia. This pack of 3 cozy blue socks, stylishly marked with the E3D logo, keeps your heater block clean and well - insulated. Since May 2017, this standard version ships with all our V6 and Lite6 HotEnds. But if you prefer the classic style, it's still available. These socks have small yet significant changes, making 3D printing with E3D HotEnds easier, cleaner, and faster. They tightly cling to the heater block and last longer. Made of heat - resistant, non - stick silicone, they repel molten plastic build - up, especially useful for sticky materials. They also boost temperature stability, great for high - airflow cooling setups, allowing for better overhangs and bridges while keeping the HotEnd temperature stable. The covers are easy to install, just push them onto the front of the HotEnd without disassembly. They fit tightly when cold and expand to the right size when hot. Note that V6 socks come in a pack of 3 as they don't last forever. Depending on the materials you print and usage, they can last 100+ print hours, or almost indefinitely with less sticky materials. All our E3D products are genuine, sourced from E3D in the UK. If you're confused or need advice, chat with us live.

Using these E3D V6 silicone socks is a breeze. Just push the covers onto the front of the HotEnd. When they're cold, they'll fit tightly, but don't worry. Once the HotEnd heats up, the silicone will expand to fit snugly. Remember, these socks are made of heat - resistant and non - stick silicone. So, they're great at keeping molten plastic from building up on your heater block and nozzle. This is especially helpful when you're using sticky materials. As for how long they last, it depends on what you print and how you use them. With sticky and abrasive materials, they should last at least 100 print hours. If you use less sticky materials like ABS and treat them gently, they can last a really long time. To maintain them, keep them clean. If there's any plastic build - up, you can try to gently remove it when the sock is cool. Also, store them in a cool, dry place when not in use. And if you ever have any questions about these socks or any of our E3D products, don't hesitate to reach out to us via live chat.
