Works well but tricky install
The part itself is great stainless steel, but getting the old one out was a nightmare due to heat creep. Make sure you have the right tools before attempting this swap.

Perfect upgrade for high-temp prints
Replaced the stock PTFE lined tube with this all-metal version. No more clogging when printing ABS at 240°C. Installation was straightforward on my Ender-3.

Good quality but requires tuning
The build quality is excellent and feels very durable. However, I had to re-level my bed and adjust retraction settings slightly after installation. Once tuned, prints are flawless.

Essential for serious printing
If you plan to print anything above 230°C, you need this. The straight hole design ensures smooth filament flow. Fits my CR-10 perfectly without any modification.

Great value for money
Cheap way to extend the life of my printer's hotend. Printing PETG is now much more consistent. Took off one star because the instructions were non-existent, had to watch a YouTube video.

Solid construction
Very precise machining on the threads. It screws in smoothly and creates a tight seal with the heat block. Highly recommended for upgrading older printer models.
Q: Does this come with thermal paste?
A: No, this package includes only the stainless steel throat tube. We recommend applying fresh thermal paste between the tube and the heat block during installation for optimal heat transfer.
Q: Can I use this with flexible filaments like TPU?
A: Yes, the straight hole design actually improves flexibility handling by reducing friction points compared to some bowed tubes, though proper retraction settings are still key.
Q: Is this compatible with the Ender-3 V2?
A: Yes, this M6 throat tube is fully compatible with the Ender-3 V2 as it shares the same hotend assembly structure as the standard Ender-3.
Q: What is the maximum temperature this can withstand?
A: Being made of stainless steel, the tube itself can withstand temperatures well over 300°C. The limit will depend on your specific heater block and thermistor ratings.
Q: Do I need to replace the heatsink fan when installing this?
A: No, you can reuse your existing heatsink and fan. This part replaces only the throat tube inside the hotend assembly.
