🌡️ Maxiwatt Hotend Cylinder THERMISTOR: Efficient Circular Temperature Sensor Review

I've always disliked the offset heater block and heater element arrangement like all other printers. When I found this it was obvious that this was a much better design. They turn out to be just the right size to stack inside each other and use the volcano attachment! I am now putting out 80 watts of melting power with no drop in temperature. Insulation: I couldn't find silicone socks for this, so I wrapped a piece of fiberglass around the cores, which works great and lasts a lot longer…

They're really good, better than V6, MK10, Mosquito etc in my experience. Maybe only 40w but it heats up faster on than other blocks I own. with 50W or 80W cartridge heaters. I suspect it has something to do with the block having a built in annular heating element. It holds temperature better than other blocks and due to the nature of the built-in heater, it can maintain a stable hot-end temperature even when the pressure is constantly switching between different filament flow rates. I've…

I had a whole support email thread because I bought two of these to experiment with. The first worked for a while, and then it started to fail due to temperature. I replaced it with another one and it couldn't hold temperature for more than a nanosecond. I was disappointed but stayed with him. As it turned out, the problem was a tiny set screw (I have no idea what size it is, but I don't have that little allen wrench and I doubt many have). A set screw holds the tiny thermistor in the case…
