Design and Compatibility
The
heatsink on the Creality CR-10 and several creality Ender 3 series is
characterized by its finned design, which increases the surface area for
better heat dissipation.
Dimensions:
- 27*12*20mm
- Distance between holes :15mm
Compatible with:
Function of the Heatsink:
The
heatsink is designed to dissipate heat away from the hot end. It is
typically made of aluminum, which is an excellent conductor of heat. The
heatsink works in conjunction with a cooling fan to keep the upper part
of the hot end cool, preventing the filament from melting prematurely.
This is crucial because it ensures that the filament only melts when it
reaches the nozzle, allowing for precise extrusion and layer formation.
