Essential for dual color prints

If you are doing multi-material printing, this fixing block is a must-have. It keeps both hotends aligned perfectly, reducing the chance of clogs or misalignment.

Solid upgrade but instructions could be better

The quality of the aluminum is excellent and it feels very sturdy. Installation took a bit longer than expected as the manual was vague, but once installed, print quality improved significantly.

Good product, slightly heavy

It works well and holds the tubes securely. However, the added weight on the print head requires some recalibration of your acceleration settings to avoid ringing artifacts.

Durable and reliable

Been using this for three months now with ABS and PLA. No signs of wear or loosening. The screws provided are good quality too. Just wish it came in black.

Great thermal stability

I noticed much better heat retention and stability after swapping my old plastic holder for this aluminum block. Highly recommend for anyone running high-temperature filaments.

Perfect fit for my dual extruder setup

This aluminum block solved the wobble issue I was having with my throat tubes. The machining is precise and it fits the MK8 nozzles perfectly without any leaking.

5 FAQ

Q: Does the package include heat breaks?

A: No, the package only includes the aluminum fixing block and the necessary mounting screws. Heat breaks and nozzles must be purchased separately.

Q: Do I need to re-level my bed after installing this?

A: Yes, because this block may slightly alter the Z-height of your nozzles, it is highly recommended to re-level your print bed and adjust Z-offsets after installation.

Q: Is this compatible with E3D V6 hotends?

A: No, this fixing block is specifically designed for Makerbot Dual Hotend systems and MK8 threads. It is not compatible with E3D V6 mounts without significant modification.

Q: Can this be used with flexible filaments like TPU?

A: Yes, the rigid fixation provided by this block actually helps with flexible filaments by preventing tube movement that can cause grinding or jamming.

Q: What is the maximum operating temperature for this block?

A: The aluminum alloy used can withstand temperatures well beyond standard 3D printing requirements, safely handling up to 300°C continuously.
