This standard silicone sock is ideal for use with the V6 cartridge-style heater block and nozzle.
Standard V6 silicone socks are made to insulate the heater block and nozzle for more efficient, stable thermal performance.
Made from an inherently non-stick high-temperature silicone, these socks help keep your nozzles and block free from plastic residue.
Tthey are designed to be as durable as possible, but they will eventually wear away or perish. Your mileage will vary depending on the temperatures used and the materials you print with.
Package Contents:
1 x Silicone sock for thermistor style E3D V6 block
Buy an E3D V6 sock from Spool3D for your 3D printer in Canada without the surprise cost of the exchange rate!
Came reasonably quick, were affordable and actually fit which is more than I can say for the ones I ordered from Amazon.

E3D Silicon Sock
5/5
I placed an order for other things but decided to replace my old e3d sock because I know it fits and keeps things clean down there. It is on a stock Prusa 2.5s hot end btw.

E3D v6 Sock
5/5
Works just as advertised. My Prusa i3 MK3s heats up much faster now, it also maintains a more consistent temperature. Easy to install. Shipping to the US was fast and easy. I would not hesitate to shop with Spool3D again.

Smells a bit
4/5
It definitely works but this sock seems to be a little off in terms of quality. For one it smelled a bit to the point i thought i was printing with abs by accident (i dont even use abs) though that went away after a while. Functionally its great and fits the nozzle well.

Silicone sock for V6 heater block
4/5
I'd give if five stars but they do wear out after quite a few hours.
They are best fitted by using some fine wire around the perimeter that keeps them from working off if they get clumped up and you are trying to remove the clump which must be done hot or you will destroy the sleeve.

Silicone sock for V6 heater block
3/5
The product is a good idea but in my experiences they don't fit well and I've had them fall off and foul up a print.
Accidents never happen when you are watching and we all know you just can't be there all the time.

A must have E3D hotend upgrade
5/5
Just get this and you will be happy. It keeps the heat where it is supposed to be at the hotend.
I strongly prefer this new design over the old one. The old one would occasionally snag on the model being printed causing problems.
I have done dozens of prints with the new silicon sock and no snagging issues - and I don't expect any ever as the silicon is not so close to the tip of the nozzle.

Great Product!
5/5
Hotend comes up to temperature faster, and won't cool appreciably, even with the 2 cooling fans running at 100%.
Bridges are a lot better. Easy installation. Fast shipping.

These docks fit nicely, but it is hard to get them to stay seated in place.

E3D Silicone Sock for V6 Heater Block
5/5
Item as described - great feature

perfect
5/5
Now I am using this on the heater block of a clone E3d v6, and I have to say it's a good fit. If any of you have the Zorvo clone bought off Amazon, this is the sock for you.
I run massive cooling on my carriage. 2 40mm fan set up, each duct blowing on the left and right of the nozzle, now even with PID tuning, it is still capable of making the heater run overtime and drop a few degrees. No doubt if not PID tuned, you will most likely see a huge drop in temps. After installing this sock, I can gladly say that it does EXACTLY what it is meant to. Which is make the heater block a nice blue color. Actually to hold in the temp to keep the heater block at a constant temp via insulating. As well as to keep the hurricane force cooling system from stripping the heat off the heater.
All in all, the more constant your temp control, the more consistent the extrusion, and less clogging. I'd say this is one of the BEAT $2.50 investments you can buy, even for a cheap $20 clone hot end. So go forth my friends, if you have an authentic v6 or a clone, gather up your candy money and grab 1 or 10 of these. It's a great investment that works :)

Wish I Had Bought One Sooner
5/5
Title says it all. Two things have been very noticeable since putting this thing on:
1) Hotend temps with the part fan running have been more consistent and stable.
2) Not a single issue with PETG sticking to the nozzle, something that plagued me before.
Needless to say I'll be picking up more of these just to make sure I'm never without.

not sure how I did without
5/5
These are amazing. Not sure how I ever did without them. The heater block heats up much faster, keeps that heat in and from transferring to the print. You would be crazy not to try these.

Excellent sleeve
5/5
It holds heat, most plastics do not stick to it. Perfect in every way. :)

The same great E3D sock
5/5
It works just as well as the one that came with my lite6 hotend. Great isolation from any fans, and it's saved my hands several times when I need to reach into my Delta style printer. My only dispute is that it still slips off very gradually if it gets bumped, this can easily be fixed with a stiff wire around the top, or a high temperature rubber band. It stretches to make it easier to attach, but being a soft material, can slip down and get caught on a print once in a long while.
Still, totally worth the few dollars on the side of an order. Especially worth the easily cleaned nozzle.

Buy This
5/5
I bought some of these socks to keep my heater block and nozzles clean so i don't get any of that black gunk that appears when the filaments melt to the nozzle and it worked perfectly just the way i intended. however i bought them for my prusa i3 mk2 and i needed to partly take the hot end apart to put it on but no worries i love these silicone socs.

nice cheap accessory
4/5
Fits snugly. Very good for keeping heat isolated and plastic off your nozzle. Does add a bit of bulk to the heat block though so pick out your fan ducts wisely.

Keep your hot end clean!
5/5
Awesome product, easy to put on, It adjust to the hot end shape. My hot end is not the original E3D V6 hot end but the Chinese knock off and works great with it as well
