Review on Enhanced Performance: Silicone Printers Hotends Heater Upgrade by Bobby Posner

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Micro-Swiss Full Metal Heater Block Replacement

I had a brand new all metal Micro Swiss hot end that I bought right after Christmas but I didn't tighten the nozzle enough and ended up making quite a mess when one of my print jobs failed. I disassembled the hot end to clean it but found that I had stripped one of the screws in the heater block so I couldn't get the ceramic heater cylinder out. Luckily I was only able to buy a thermal block. Installing the thermal block was easy (after pulling a new heater barrel through the wiring harness and screwing it into the motherboard, but that's another review of the product). Prints great! I'm currently printing a Mandalorian helmet. Highly recommended.

Pros
  • Suitable for: CR-10 / CR-10S / CR-10-S5 / CR-10 MINI / CR-10-S4 / Ender-2 / TronXY X5S / MK7, MK8, MK9 Hotend
Cons
