<p><strong><em>This mold is based on CNC Kitchens. Watch <a href="https://youtu.be/O5UiXky85hA?t=634">his video</a> for complete instructions.</em></strong></p> <p><a href="https://e3d-online.com/v6-silicone-socks-pack-of-3">Standard E3D Socks</a> can be used as well, but they will sit loose. Socks from this mold instead will have a perfect fit.</p> <p>There is a <a href="https://forum.prusaprinters.org/forum/user-mods-octoprint-enclosures-nozzles/specific-silicon-socks-for-mini/">topic in the Prusa Forum</a> for questions, discussions, and recommendations.</p> <p>You will also need 3x M3 nuts, 3x M3 35mm screws (or longer) and some (about 4g per sock) temperature resistant silicone.</p> <p>One edge of the mold is marked with "TOP". Make sure that this edge is always the highest point, so that bubbles rise into the bubble trap.</p> <p>Tip to remove the bubble trap:</p> <ul> <li>After the sock is cured only remove the top part.</li> <li>Use a sharp blade to cut the bubble trap along the frame.</li> <li>Remove the sides and the bottom, but leave the core.</li> <li>Put the sock upside down on a cutting board and cut away the rest of the bubble trap.</li> </ul> <p>Now you can remove the core and do the rest of the cleanup with your fingers and a flush cutter.</p> <h3>Print instructions</h3><h3>Recomentations:</h3> <p><table border="0" cellpadding="8"> <tr> <th></th> <th>minimal</th> <th>optimal<br/>(needed for logo version)</th> </tr> <tr> <td>material</td> <td>PLA</td> <td>PLA</td> </tr> <tr> <td>nozzle</td> <td>0.4</td> <td>0.25</td> </tr> <tr> <td>layer height</td> <td>0.2</td> <td>0.1</td> </tr> </table></p>
