Best component upgrade I've made
Simple swap that made a huge difference. Prints are cleaner, and I haven't had a single jam since installing this V5AC compatible tube. Will definitely buy again.

Great quality, slightly tricky install
The build quality is exceptional and the inner wall is incredibly smooth. It took me a bit longer than expected to align the threads correctly during installation, but once seated, it works flawlessly.

Solved my heat creep issues
My previous all-copper throat was causing heat creep with high-temperature materials. This titanium/copper hybrid solved the problem immediately. Highly recommended for anyone pushing their printer limits.

Solid performance boost
Noticed smoother extrusion immediately after swapping this in. The only reason for 4 stars instead of 5 is the price point, but you get what you pay for in terms of longevity.

Perfect upgrade for abrasive filaments
I switched to this dual-metal throat tube specifically for printing carbon fiber reinforced PLA. The titanium top prevents wear while the copper bottom ensures excellent heat transfer. No clogs after 50 hours of continuous printing.

Durable and reliable
We use these in our community makerspace on six different printers. They hold up much better than stock parts when users switch between various material types frequently.
Q: Does it come with thermal paste?
A: Yes, each package includes a small sachet of high-quality thermal compound to ensure optimal heat transfer between the throat tube and the heat sink.
Q: Can this handle PEEK or PEI filaments?
A: Yes, the titanium alloy section provides the necessary heat resistance for high-temperature engineering filaments like PEEK and PEI, provided your heater block and thermistor can also reach those temperatures safely.
Q: What is the length of the threaded section?
A: The threaded section is 23mm long, which is the standard length for V5/V6 style hotends, ensuring compatibility with most common heat sinks and heater blocks.
Q: Is this compatible with the Ender 3 V2 stock hotend?
A: This tube is designed specifically for the V5AC hotend system. While it shares some dimensions with stock Ender 3 parts, you may need to upgrade your entire hotend assembly to the V5AC style for proper fitment.
Q: How often should I replace this compared to a brass one?
A: With standard PLA, it should last indefinitely. With abrasive materials like wood-fill or carbon fiber, it typically lasts 5 to 10 times longer than a standard brass or even all-copper throat tube.
