A heater block is a crucial component in 3D printers, particularly in the hotend assembly.
The heater block’s primary role is to house the heating element and
thermistor, which work together to heat the filament to the desired
temperature for extrusion.
The Volcano V6 heater block Design has several notable advantages:
- Increased Print Speed: It allows for faster printing by enabling the use of larger nozzle sizes and higher volumetric flow rates. This is particularly useful for printing large objects;
- Stronger Prints: The thicker layers and larger traces of molten plastic improve inter-layer adhesion, resulting in stronger prints;
- Compatibility: It maintains compatibility with the E3D ecosystem, meaning you can use it with various upgrades and other E3D components;
- Efficient Heat Transfer: The design ensures efficient heat transfer from the heater cartridge to the nozzle, improving the melt rate and overall performance.
These features make the Volcano V6 heater block a great choice for those looking to print larger, stronger, and faster.
Material: made from aluminum due to its excellent thermal conductivity and lightweight properties.
Design: The block is designed to fit snugly around the heating element ensuring efficient heat transfer.
It includes threaded holes for attaching the nozzle and heat break.
