Cast Mold Mosquito Silicone Sock

thingiverse

I didn't find a silicone sock for my beloved Mosquito hotend from Slice engineering so I created a mold to cast one out of heat resistand 2k silicone. I used Trollfactory TFC wich worked like a charm. There are two holes in the mold, align one hole facing up and inject the premixed silicone with a syring, when you see silcone coming out the second hole, tape the first with duct tape or similar and try to inject a litttle more through the second hole to grant all corners get properl filled. depending on your print surface some silcone migh come out through the seam, don't bother that's nomal and will not influence th result. just be prepared that it might be a bit of a mess ;) also I found 0.12 layer height best suited, but it might also work with 0.16 - 0.2 layers.
