This not only strengthens performance, but also improves long term reliability as the heater is able to more effectively dissipate heat, thus reducing localised hot-spots The cartridge is fitted with a special high thermal conductivity conformal coating which improves heat transfer to the HotEnd. Internally we're using a completely new type of resistance element wire - surrounded by a particularly tightly packed and consolidated ceramic insulation and thus capable of continuous operation at the highest of temperatures.The construction and materials used in these heaters is radically different to our standard heaters, here’s how: High Temperature Heater Cartridge The E3D solution: H.A.F. In classic E3D fashion, what do we do when we can’t find a solution? We make our own. And ‘conventional’ high powered heaters had a real tendency of burning up within just a few dozen hours of printing whilst running above 400☌.Standard heaters seriously lack sufficient power when operating at higher temperatures.We needed to solve the two main issues encountered when using heater cartridges at highly elevated temperatures: High Temperature Heater CartridgesĪs none of the current heater cartridges we offer were designed to operate for long periods at the temperatures required to print high temperature thermoplastics, we decided to develop an alternative. We’re excited to announce our revolutionary high temperature heater, designed specifically for operating temperatures of 400-500☌. Printing a high temperature thermoplastic requires, as the name suggests- high temperatures. The most obvious component to start with would be the heater cartridges themselves. But, before you start unwrapping that lovely new filament please be aware that this isn’t your standard PLA and requires a number of different advanced components in order to print with. We’re really excited about it, and think it's going to blow everything out of the water. You may have seen our recent posts teasing the release of our new PAEK filament (polyaryletherketone). Today we are launching our new High Temperature range including High Temperature Heater Cartridges and High Temperature Heated Beds. Written by Sam Tumilty If You Can’t Handle The Heat.
