    Replace damaged heating elements in your 3D printer, or switch them out to print at a faster speed or higher temperature. Also known as hotends, these heating elements receive filament from an extruder, melt it, and then pass it through a nozzle onto the part being printed. They are compatible with most fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Changes to the heating element or temperature cartridge will also require a software update, or your printer may overheat. Made of metal, heating blocks disperse heat from an insertion heater to evenly melt filament as it passes through. They also hold the temperature sensor and join the filament guide to the nozzle, making them an important connection point between parts of the heating element.
    Nickel-Plated Copper—Nickel-plated copper heating blocks conduct more heat and hold up to higher temperatures than aluminum. Use them with Mosquito heating elements.
