Silicone sock function introduction:

1.It can effectively keep the heating block and the nozzle around cleaning.

2.It'smade of heat-resistant silicone, does not adhere to the printing of other ingredients, easy to clean.

3.Thesiliconesock has good thermalinsulation characteristics, can effectively keep the temperature of the heating block stable, especially if the print head is cooled by themodel cooling fan, which can effectively keep the temperature of the heating block from being affected by the flowing wind around it, can helpto improve the printing quality.

4.It has a certain role in preventing burns.

5.It's with better temperature resistance and longer servicelife, support for PLA, ABS, TPU, HIPS, WOOD, PETG and other materials.

• These socks will keep your nozzle clean and free of burnt on blackened plastic. They don’t just keep the nozzle clean, but also keep heat inside the hotend, and off the print.

• Made of a heat-resistant, non-stick silicone material that will repel build-up of molten plastic. This really helps with sticky materials like Co-Polyesters and filled materials that like to build up on nozzles.

• These also offer a huge boost in temperature stability, particularly if you use high airflow cooling around the nozzle to cool the print. The additional cooling combined with reduced radiation of heat from the block and nozzle to the print really boost the ability to print great overhangs and bridges, all while keeping the hotend temperature extremely stable

1. The sock is too hard and not elastic, the installation is unstable and easy to fall off.

2. The surface is rough.

3. The package is not good as for the exposed area of the heating block is too large, and the heat preservation effect is greatly reduced.

4. The nozzle installation height is required, too high or too low will affect the use.

5. The compatibility is not good, only a heating block can be supported.

② Disadvantages of Heat block insulation cotton:

1. The appearance is rough.

2. Installation is cumbersome.

3. The package is not good as for the exposed area of the heating block is too large, and the heat preservation effect is greatly reduced.

4. It's easy to bond with other materials, not easy to clean.

5. Short service life and is easy to fall off.

③ Advantages of the XCR-NV6 Silicone insulation sock:

1. The product has good elasticity, can be installed tightly with the heating block, not easy to fall off.

2. The surface appearance is fine and feels good.

3. The package is good, there are not too many unnecessary openings, so that the exposed part of the heating block is greatly reduced to increase the heat preservation.

4. The installation is more convenient, the nozzle installation height allows for greater deviation.

5. Compatibility is good, you can install the original E3D-V6 heating block, and it's also compatible with theXCR NV6 heating block(XCR NV6 heating block supports thermal resistance temperature measurement, high temperature thermal resistance temperature measurement, thermocouple temperature measurement)
