Duplicator I3 Hotend mold

thingiverse

I created this after spotting several heat end molds for various other heat ends here. This is a mold I crafted of the Duplicator I3 heat end to make a high-temperature silicone insulator for the heat end. Assemble the two halves together with screws, fill the mold about one-half full of high-temp silicone and place the Heat End into the mold and secure it down. After letting it dry for approximately a day, the mold can be opened and the silicone insulation carefully peeled away from the insert. You will have to clear the holes as a thin film of silicone will cover them. Then just pop it on the heat end and reinstall the heater and thermistor and you're ready to go.
