V6 Bi-Metal Insulation Tube - High temperature insulation and stability: The V6 insulation tube uses a bi-metal construction with a high temperature resistance up to 500 C. The design reduces heat transfer by about 60% across the insulation, helping keep the heater block temperature better controlled during operation. - Safe and reliable structure: The two components have different thermal conductivities and are bonded through a specialized process, creating a stable, durable unit. This two-part design minimizes risk of damage during normal use and supports long, reliable performance for 3D printing. - Material advantages: The alloy core provides high temperature resistance and low thermal conductivity to maintain a constant heater block temperature and reduce premature expansion of consumables that can cause blockages. The red copper component quickly dissipates generated heat, contributing to overall effective thermal performance for smooth printing. - Threaded version compatibility: The bi-metallic threaded version of the V6 tube is highly compatible with various heat-related components, including heater tubes, volcano heater blocks (normal and PT100), V6 heater blocks (normal and PT100), and Prusa i3 MK3/MK3S printers, expanding its applicability across different 3D printing setups. - Use scenarios: - Upgrading a V6 hotend to improve temperature stability for high-temp materials (eg, ABS, nylon) and long prints. - Replacing insulation in hotends using Volcano or V6 blocks to reduce premature consumable expansion and maintain consistent temperatures with PT100 sensors. - Integrating into a Prusa i3 MK3/MK3S setup to ensure compatible, reliable insulation and temperature control.
