V6 Socks 3-Pack

Upgrade your E3D V6 Hot End with the E3D silicone sock. This convenient pack of 3 V6 socks ensures that your 3D printer runs smoothly for longer. Silicone socks provide small but significant changes that make 3D printing with E3D HotEnds even easier, cleaner, and faster. They fit snugly around the heat block and last longer than ever!

Material

Our socks are made from a heat-resistant, non-stick silicone material that repels the buildup of melted plastic. This is especially helpful with sticky materials like co-polyester and filled materials that tend to accumulate on nozzles.

Temperature Stability

They also offer a tremendous increase in temperature stability, particularly when you use high airflow around the nozzle for cooling the print. The additional cooling, combined with reduced heat radiation from the block and nozzle to the print, enhances the ability to print large overhangs and bridges while keeping the temperature of the HotEnd extremely stable.

Usage

The covers simply slide onto the front of the HotEnd without needing to be disassembled. When first pushed on cold, they fit snugly. When hot, the silicone expands to the right size and conforms to the HotEnd.

V6 socks come in a 3-pack since they don't last forever. Depending on the materials you print and how heavily they are used, the silicone will wear down over time. Even with sticky, abrasive materials and a bit of misuse, they should easily last for 100+ print hours. With less sticky materials like ABS and gentler use, you can achieve an almost unlimited lifespan. Your mileage may vary.
