Thermal paste for improving conduction Acts as a release agent Unlike anti-seize compounds, Boron Nitride is not electrically conductive, which eliminates the risk of shorting out your heater cartridge or thermistor Use the included applicator to coat the cartridge heater hole in your 3d printer heat block. Insert the cartridge heater while the paste is still wet, then let dry. The boron nitride boosts dissipation of heat from the hot section of the cartridge heater, improving its life. Retails in 5 cc syringes with luer lock fittings. Stable to 850 °C in air, 1800 °C in a vacuum. SDS available here.

Would you like an indestructible nozzle? Try ours out. With a 64 Rockwell C hardness (Vickers HV 910) minimum rating, and the highest hot hardness on the market (compared to other metallic nozzles), it’s virtually unscratchable. We also use a repellent coating to reduce plastic build-up on the nozzle, so you are less likely to experience misprints from plastic being scraped across your masterpiece. People who truly value their prints and put deep care into their finished product — they want the most durable, reliable, premier nozzle to carry out the job. Oh, and did we mention that we offer a lifetime warranty against abrasion? Primary benefits: Hard to the Core - Vanadium™ Nozzles are hardened and tempered to 65 Rockwell C all the way through the substrate, not just on the surface. Crafted from vanadium-alloyed high-speed steel for superior abrasion resistance at printing temperatures, not just at room temperature. Do you print at room temperature? We sure don't. Surface coated with a wear-resistant, plastic repellent coating to keep your nozzle as clean as possible. Forgot what size nozzle you have installed? With the Vanadium™ Nozzle you don't need to know braille, or read a chart, the orifice size is engraved on 3 sides for easy viewing. Compatible with common metric (6 mm) and standard (1/4 in) socket tools for easy installation. Rep Rap style (M6 x 1.0 threads with a 7 mm thread length and 12.5 mm overall length) The best warranty in the business: a Lifetime Warranty against abrasion100% Made in USA NOTE: Contact us for sizes that are out of stock.

The Mosquito® Magnum is adaptable to virtually any printer, so by swapping one component, you have the high performance benefits of a printer worth thousands more. Since the Mosquito® (designed for beauty) and Mosquito® Magnum (designed for speed) are the same length, any combination of these hotends can be mounted to one carriage. So you can switch between high-flow and high-precision in the same print.Oh yeah, and you can change the nozzle with one hand.Unlock engineering-grade plastics up to 500 °C. That means you can print car parts, medical devices, and whatever else you can dream up, and you don’t have to buy an expensive printer to do the job. How did we accomplish this?  We reimagined hotend design and structure from the ground up. Hand-selected materials execute specific tasks in each part of the Mosquito® Magnum to optimize your printer’s performance.  Some might say it’s overkill. But we say it’s necessary to create something truly excellent. We highly recommend the use of BN paste with the Mosquito® Magnum to provide good thermal conductivity between the hotend and heater/thermistor. Unique Features: The Mosquito® Magnum prints upwards of 30 mm^3/sec A thermal insulator protects the extended melt zone from the effects of active cooling and radiative heat loss. It has a heat transmission rate as low as 3 W/m*K, meaning you can have ultimate confidence in the speed of your print, while at the same time maintaining the high resolution benefits achieved with the standard Mosquito® Hotend The melt zone is extended proximally upwards to maintain a small form factorCompatible with Rep Rap style nozzles which are characterized by their M6 x 1.0 threads, 7 mm threaded length, and 12.5 mm overall length A multi extrusion setup with both high flow and high resolution optimized designs can be created without needing to purchase new nozzles or make carriage modifications to accommodate hotends of different sizes Installation and assembly instructions available on our Documentation page Kit Includes: Mosquito® Magnum Hotend* Mosquito® Magnum Mounting Hardware Set of Mosquito® Magnum hex keys for assembly, disassembly, and mounting Super tasty US-made gourmet lollipops *Fan, Heater Cartridge, & Thermistor sold separately ADDITIONAL DETAILS: Superior heat break performance - The heat break conducts 85% less heat into the heat sink than a typical threaded heat break- Steep temperature gradient at the heat break, and high tolerances along the filament path allow for better transmission of fine motor movements, resulting in beautiful, higher resolution prints- Steep temperature gradient at the heat break reduces the likelihood of jamming- Reduced heat transmission removes the need for a large heat sink- Composite construction of the bimetallic heat break™ allows for the use of materials optimized for heat transfer in each section of the heat break- Allows for hotend to be mounted with a printed, plastic adapter, without raising safety concernsIncreased structural rigidity - The heat break has been separated from the structural components of the hotend, allowing for a heat break that is not load bearing, and can be very thin walled. This allows for a reliable, rigid exterior structure- No components are prone to loosening at the mounting points- Nozzles can be changed with one hand, without grasping the hot block- In the case of a severe crash, an entirely new hotend is not necessary, parts can be easily swapped outLarger temperature operating range - Specially-engineered high temperature copper alloy in the hot block will not soften at high temperatures in excess of 550C.- Threads in the hot block will not deform at high temps, allowing removal of nozzles even after multiple high temp heat cycles- Nickel plating on the hot block reduces radiative heat loss and prevents galling of threadsModular/adaptable to almost any FFF/FDM printer - Compact, flat, ambidextrous form factor- 5 different hole mounting patterns to allow for adaptation to virtually any printer- Printable adapters can be created to diversify mounting optionsIdeal for multiple extrusion systems - Small form factor and light mass allows for back-to-back mounting with small nozzle-nozzle distanceLightweight - Small mass allows for more rapid motion- Less reinforcement needed for the motors, belts, and drives in the motion system

Specifically designed for changing nozzles 1.5 Nm torque provides correct seal to prevent leaking plastic Perfect tool for one-handed nozzle change when paired with Mosquito® hotends Fits any Slice Engineering nozzles natively, with just enough wiggle room for that baked on plastic Fits other style nozzles with off-the-shelf adapters

Wet 3D printing filament can cause all sorts of issues. In fact, many of the issues that hotends or nozzles get blamed for can actually be traced back to filament that has absorbed too much moisture. Our facility is located in humid Florida, so we set out to find an easy way to keep the humidity from killing our prints. The Filament Drying Desiccant was the result.  Activated alumina desiccant is 10x more powerful than comparable silica gel, and is non-toxic! Creates enough of a relative humidity (Rh) gradient to absorb both surface moisture and water particles captured inside the filament Stainless steel canister is perfectly sized to fit in the center of your filament spool Desiccant is infinitely rechargeable in the stainless steel container Made in USA! To use simply remove the outer shrink wrap and pop off the cap, then insert the canister into the center of your filament spool. Store the spool in an airtight container and watch the humidity drop! More information can be found here. NOTE: Desiccants work by absorbing moisture in their surroundings. The Filament Drying Desiccant is super good at this job, but even it will get saturated with water molecules eventually. To recharge it, simply toss the whole canister into an oven at 200 °C or more for 2 hours to remove the water. DO NOT MICROWAVE. Please contact us for filament and desiccant drying service.
