This critical area of the machine, known as the hot end assembly, houses crucial components such as the nozzle and heat break, which are directly responsible for melting and extruding the plastic filament. The extruder itself, especially when utilizing a direct-drive setup, plays an integral role in this process by feeding the plastic material into the hot end, where it is melted and formed into the desired shape.
