THE COPPERHEAD BIMETTALIC HEAT BREAK IS OPTIMIZED FOR HEAT TRANSFER AND UNLOCKS NEW LEVELS OF PRECISION AT AN AFFORDABLE PRICE

Unlike most materials, plastics don’t have a clean transition from solid to liquid during melting. As filament moves through a hotend, it heats up and reaches the material’s glass transition temperature (Tg), entering a semi-solid, semi-liquid, “gooey” state. While in this state, the plastic responds to applied forces like a wet noodle, which can cause undesirable 3D printing effects like reduction in resolution, blobbing, and jamming. An efficient heat break narrows the physical distance during which the plastic is at it’s Tg, and thus improves 3D printer performance. The Bimetallic Heat Break™ from Slice Engineering® is the only heat break designed through the use of thermal imaging to optimize heat transfer for a high precision 3D printing experience at an affordable cost with convenient options.

COPPERHEAD HEAT BREAK – STANDARD – G2 PRODUCT UPDATES

The CopperHead Standard Heat Breaks have increased in length by 3 mm to accommodate Raise3D 3D Printers. Now known as the CopperHead Heat Break – Standard - G2, the accompanying heat sinks that fit this heat break have also been updated to Copperhead Heat Sink - Groove Mount - G2 and Copperhead Heat Sink - Screw Mount - G2.

 

Combining the Copperhead G1 Standard Heat Break with Copperhead G2 Heat Sinks and visa-versa will still function for customers who have older versions of each component.
