Insertion Heaters for 3D Printer Extruder Heating Elements
 |  |
Insertion Heater |
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.
The metal tip on insertion heaters is the heat source that melts filaments. Connect this tip to a heating block to spread the heat evenly across the filament guide. Plug the other end into your printer controller, which allows you to adjust the temperature. Insertion heaters with a higher wattage heat up faster and reach higher temperatures. Choose a heater with the same voltage as your 3D printer.

Before installing printer components onto the heating block, coat the mounting holes with non-bonding heat transfer compounds. Also known as thermal paste, these compounds transfer heat to temperature sensors, which improves accuracy. They also keep components from sticking to the heating block, making them easier to remove.
