Great durability, tricky install
The quality is excellent and it handles abrasive materials well. Installation required a bit more torque than expected to seat properly, but once installed, performance is flawless.

Solid upgrade for Mellow V2
Fits the Mellow V2 hotend perfectly. It runs slightly hotter than the stock metal tube due to different thermal properties, so I adjusted my cooling fan curve slightly.

Essential for Carbon Fiber Printing
This ceramic throat tube is a game changer. I was going through brass nozzles every few prints with carbon fiber filament, but this has held up perfectly for weeks without any signs of wear.

Smooth extrusion guaranteed
The internal bore is incredibly smooth. I noticed less resistance during retraction and overall better print quality on my engineering-grade filaments.

Professional grade component
We use these in our production printers for continuous carbon fiber jobs. Zero failures so far across five different units. Highly recommended for professional setups.
Q: What is the maximum temperature rating for this ceramic tube?
A: The high-purity ceramic material can withstand temperatures up to 1400°C, far exceeding the requirements of any standard 3D printing filament.
Q: Does the package include a new heater block?
A: No, this package contains only the ceramic throat tube and a small sample of thermal paste. The heater block and nozzle are sold separately.
Q: How often should I replace this compared to a steel throat?
A: Unlike steel or brass throats which degrade quickly with abrasive filaments, this ceramic tube can last indefinitely under normal operating conditions unless physically damaged.
Q: Can this handle PLA or only abrasive filaments?
A: It works perfectly with PLA, PETG, and ABS as well. While it is optimized for abrasive materials like carbon fiber, there is no downside to using it with standard filaments.
Q: Is this compatible with the standard E3D V6 hotend?
A: No, this specific 'Crazy Mosquito' ceramic tube is designed exclusively for the Mellow V2 hotend system and may not fit standard E3D V6 configurations without modification.
