Silicone mold E3D V5

thingiverse

This is a Silicone Mold Sock for E3D V5 Hotend (Mounted on Anycubic I3 Mega). You need to assemble it in this way: 1 - Combine the "V5 Filled" between the "SX" and DX. There's only one way to put them together. 2 - Put all three pieces combined on the "Fondo". You should hear a click sound. 3 - Put the Silicone (High Temp Resistant) inside the Mold. Fill it halfway. 4 - Put the last piece "Tappo" to close the mold. You should hear another click sound. Finish by filling it to the top. Tap it gently on the desk several times to help the air rise to the top. If necessary, fill it again. I recommend using tape behind the mold to prevent the silicone from escaping. It's a good idea to spray a thin layer of oil before assembling the mold and adding the silicone, which will help with detachment. Wait for a few hours as your silicone instructions dictate. Then, open the mold gently.
