Review on πŸ”₯ Genuine E3D Socks Pack V6 SOCK PRO 3PACK - Ultimate Heat Protection for Your 3D Printer's Nozzle by Patrick Reid

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Completely covers everything except the end of the E3D V6 nozzle tip.

These "Pro" socks are almost identical to the original silicone socks except they cover the nozzle down to the smallest part of the tip. They also completely cover the bottom screw hole of the heater block. They help prevent winding and melting of the filament on the outside of the nozzle. They also help maintain the appearance of the heater block and nozzle. They also retain a bit of heat at the block and nozzle, making it a little easier for your electronics to keep the hot end stable. closed, or placement may vary slightly, and covering most of the tip or screw hole at the bottom is not possible. If you're not sure, you can order both the original and new Pro styles and try them both. If you can use Pro I would stick with them. If not, then the originals are forgiving of a little more jet or block openings that are slightly offset. Also look at your part's fan head to see how it will match the nozzle. I had a printer whose installation completely covered and blocked the air vent. You may need to print a different fan header to use them.

Pros
  • Solid construction
Cons
  • Non-Automatic
