thingiverse
Features ======== * Fits perfectly on stock Anet A8 heatblock without any modifications needed. * Sufficient space around nozzle allows for easy nozzle changes, even with large nozzles like M8. * Screw holes remain accessible at all times. * Optional screw hole access is available on the side with cables. * Has a distinctive odor similar to burned corn starch when molded with oogoo, but this smell dissipates over time. How to Create ============= 1. Print the heatblock either with or without the screw hole, as the left part fits both configurations. 2. I printed "Heatblock L.stl" and "Heatblock R.stl" and successfully glued them together. 3. Ensure that the matching molds fit together perfectly, making any necessary adjustments by grinding and cutting as needed. 4. Apply a thin layer of shower gel to prevent silicone from sticking. 5. Wear old clothes to avoid any potential stains or messes. 6. Prepare oogoo according to the instructions below. 7. Wait for 4 minutes before filling the molds with the mixture, then carefully push in the printed heatblock dummy and close the molds, scraping away excess oogoo that is squeezed out. 8. Allow the remaining oogoo to harden completely, then carefully open the mold. 9. Do not apply the sock yet, but wait for 24 hours as it will continue to release corrosive vinegar. Oogoo ===== Oogoo is a simple mixture made from silicone and corn starch. Combine a teaspoon of corn starch with plenty of acetate silicone in a plastic cup and mix thoroughly using a Chinese chopstick. **Note:** Oogoo has a strong odor when new, but this smell dissipates over time.
