Cyclops hotend sock

thingiverse

A cyclops hotend sock mold. I used high Loctite SI5927 flange sealant, but any high temperature silicone or flange sealant should work as well. I also used [this](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LIbQROgT8h0&ab_channel=Nero3dp) video on youtube to guide me through the mold making process as this is my first attempt at anything like this. You can also check out Stefan's (CNC Kitchen) video on this topic [here](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O5UiXky85hA&ab_channel=CNCKitchen) The mold itself is printed in 4 parts (dummy hotend, top part and two walls for the outside) and I provided 2 files that are oriented for printing and have integrated supports. You can print them all in one go, but I recommend printing one at a time (complete individual objects in PrusaSlicer) to minimize stringing and possible blobs or zits. If you need any edits (in case you need the parts a little further appart on the build plate) feel free to leave a comment and I'll do my best to help you. Also any suggestions or improvement ideas are welcome and for that reason I provided the fusion 360 project file so you can modify the model to suit your needs. I printed it in DevilDesign PETG but you can use any material that gives you the best print quality. My printer suffers a lot from Z banding and it still worked but you can see some inperfections on the surfaces.
