Wanhao MK10/D9 Heater Sock Mold

A Simple Mold for Making a Silicon Heater Sock. Print Both Pieces. I used ABS first, which doesn't require extra care, but PLA needs to be covered in dish soap before applying the paste. Cover the sides with high-temperature gasket silicon and then insert firmly into place, cleaning up any excess overflow. Make sure the top edges are completely covered, as this is necessary for the sock to stay securely on the heater block. My Permatex Ultra Copper Gasket Silicon recommended leaving it to set for 24 hours, but in reality, it needed around 48 hours at a temperature of about 20C and just over 24 hours in my dehydrator at 70C. **Version 2** Now a 3-part mold is used as the gasket paste isn't as strong as desired. The sock now covers the entire side to improve rigidity.
