Titanium heatbreak for the Creality stock hotend.  Convert your Creality hotend to an all-metal heat break with Spool3D's titanium option. 

Our heat break is manufactured to tight tolerances using a special titanium alloy and a polished filament path.  We use titanium alloy Ti-6Al-5Zr-0.5Mo which is different from the industry's most common, Grade 5. Ti-6-5-0.5 has the lowest thermal conductivity among wrought titaniums.  This translates to 38% less heat transfer than Grade 5 titanium and  72% less heat transfer than typical stainless steel heat breaks and thermal tubes.

A lower thermal conductivity means a shorter transition zone where the filament changes from solid to liquid. Higher retraction values are no longer necessary.

Property Titanium Alloy 6-5-0.5 Titanium Grade 5 Stainless Steel
Thermal Conductivity (W/mK) 4.2 6.8 15
Heat Flow (W) 1.78 2.89 6.37
Density (g/cm3) 4.5 4.4 7.8
Yield Strength (MPa) 990 910 230

Thermal paste must be applied to the heat sink side:

    Absolutely love it

    This was exactly what I was looking for. The bowden tube seats nicely at the top and no longer makes contact with the nozzle. Tightened it down nicely and it is working so well!

    Creality Titanium Heat Brake

    Wonderful product and works like a charm once you know how to use it! Retraction must be very low! To work properly on a CR10v3, your retraction must be at 0.5mm at 20mm/s! Seriously a must have to get a real all metal hotend!

    Worked for CF nylon but not for PLA.

    Posted by Justin Terry on February 09, 2021

    I upgraded my stock Ender 3 hotend with this titanium heat break to convert it to an all metal hotend. It worked well for CF nylon filament, but I have nothing but constant clogging with PLA. PID has been tuned, I've tried retractions under 1mm, tried different retraction and prime speeds, tried different temperatures, tried new nozzles and new filament, adjusted flow rates and inspected the extruder assembly and motor, cooling is working, I've even tried an oiler setup. It just does not work with PLA.

    Nice little upgrade

    This heat break is a nice little upgrade to the standard Creality hot ends. Drastically reduces the chances of a clog at the nozzle.
