Solid upgrade
Works well with my modified hotend. The heat retention seems better than the stock brass block I was using before. Fast shipping too.

Perfect fit for my MK8 setup
This heater block replaced my old worn-out one perfectly. The threading is precise and it heats up evenly. Great value for the price.

Excellent precision
The holes for the thermistor and cartridge are drilled perfectly. No need for reaming or forcing parts in. Very satisfied with this purchase.

Great spare part to have
I bought this as a backup just in case, but the quality is so good I might swap it in anyway. Clean machining and no burrs.

Good quality aluminum
The material feels sturdy and durable. Installation was straightforward. I deducted one star only because the screws provided were slightly shorter than I expected, but standard ones worked fine.

Restored my printer to life
My printer had temperature fluctuations due to a cracked block. This replacement solved the issue immediately. Highly recommended for Makerbot users.
Q: Is this compatible with the Ender 3 V2?
A: No, this block is specifically designed for Makerbot MK7 and MK8 print heads. The dimensions and threading differ from the Creality Ender series.
Q: Can I use a 5mm heater cartridge with this?
A: No, the heater cartridge hole is drilled to 4mm standard size. Using a 5mm cartridge will not fit without modifying the block, which we do not recommend.
Q: How long does shipping usually take?
A: Standard shipping typically takes 3-5 business days within the continental US. Expedited options are available at checkout.
Q: What is the maximum temperature this block can handle?
A: The aluminum alloy used can safely withstand temperatures up to 300°C, which covers most standard filament printing requirements including ABS and PLA.
Q: Does this come with a thermal paste?
A: The package includes the heater block and mounting screws only. We recommend applying your own high-temperature thermal paste for optimal heat transfer.
