Review on Titanium Thermal Feeding Heatbreak Extruder by Nathan Jones

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Titanium and Suitable for V5 Hot End Conversion

I purchased this along with the V5 Hot End to convert my Monoprice Mini V2 into a higher temp machine. This is part of the overhaul. The original comes with PTFE tubing and I wanted an all metal hot end, titanium thermal break and a new cold end. Titanium thermal breaks are smoother than stainless steel and better suited for this application. The replacement V5 came with a stainless steel thermal break and PTFE hose. I weighed a stainless steel thermal break drilled for PTFE tubing and it weighed 3g. This titanium thermal isolator with added bulk due to the non-drilled PTFE tubing weighed 1.9g. I could be wrong but it's safer than using a magnet which won't stick to any of the materials.

Pros
  • Additive Manufacturing Products
Cons
