Are you in Australia and looking to buy the Slice Engineering Mosquito™ Hotend? This amazing hotend is rated for printing temperatures up to 500°C, which means it can handle all printable thermoplastics. It uses Bimetallic Heat Break™ technology to eliminate heat creep, reduce jamming, and improve printing resolution. Here are its top features: It conducts 85% less heat than a standard threaded heat break. Its increased structural rigidity allows for easy one-handed nozzle changes. It's modular and adaptable to almost any FFF/FDM printer, making it ideal for multi-extrusion systems. It uses RepRap style nozzles (M6 x 1.0 threads with a 7 mm thread length and 12.5 mm overall length). With low mass on the carriage, it offers maximum X-Y acceleration. Also, you can browse various filaments like PLA, PETG, ABS, Nylon, and TPU.
Using the Slice Engineering Mosquito™ Hotend is quite straightforward. First, make sure your printer is compatible with this hotend as it's modular and can fit most FFF/FDM printers. When installing, ensure a proper fit of the RepRap style nozzles. For printing, set the temperature up to a maximum of 500°C according to the thermoplastic you're using. One thing to note is that since it's designed to minimize heat creep, you don't have to worry too much about clogging, but still, clean the nozzle regularly to keep the printing smooth. When changing the nozzle, you can do it with one hand thanks to its structural rigidity. Store the hotend in a dry place when not in use to avoid any damage. And always follow the safety instructions of your 3D printer when operating the hotend.
