E3D Block & Sock V6 Upgrade Kit

Still waiting

Great replacement for heater block which was stripped out on my prusa i3 mk2. Thanks again

It is a little more expensive than other heater blocks, but its definitely worth it to not mess around with getting your thermistor to stay in the block. The grub screw for the thermistor is the sole reason I bought this model. The socks are good. Way better than my old/stock heater block.

It worked well in a Prusa mk3s.

Bought two, one for a genuine E3D on my i3 clone, the other for the clone on my MP Select. Both fit great and I had no issues with the install. Biggest difference was on my i3. I'd previously been using no part fan, primarily ABS on that printer, and decided to add a fang to go PLA/PETG. Ended up having issues with thermal runaway when the fan kicked prior to installing the new block and sock. Since installing it I've had zero problems. As a bonus the sock helps with PETG curl as well. Highly recommend these

Replace your clone heating block with this product and enjoy trouble-free printing.

Item as described - the short plugs are a great addition - saves a lot of rewiring

This is the original new cartridge style E3d thermistor which is an upgrade from the common Epcos 100k thermistor i used to have on my E3d. The 100k worked fine but the machined hole on the e3d heat block is designed for E3d own Semitec 100k thermistor. The difference is the Semitic has a smaller glass bulb that will fit nicely in the small hole on the heat block. The common 100k thermistor will go through the hole but will be a bit protruding which will prevent the fastener screw from sitting flush on the block. I didnt want to use a high temperature paste to hold the thermistor permanently in because i will need to break the thermistor if i wanted to remove it because of the hardened paste. I fastened the screw on it but the thermistor bulb didnt have a complete surface area contact with the block which kept giving me a "Thermal Runway Error" message on Marlin. Long story short, get yourself one of these new E3d heat blocks with the easy remove cartridge thermistor for better accuracy and nicer finish.
