Silicone mold E3D V5

thingiverse

This is a Silicone mold sock for E3D V5 hotend (mounted on Anycubic I3 Mega). You need to assemble in this way: 1 - Combine the "v5 filled" between the "sx" and dx". There is only one way to put them together. 2 - Put all this 3 pieces combined on the "fondo". You should hear a click sound. 3 - Put the silicone (high temp resistant) inside the mold. Fill it in half. 4 - Put the last piece "tappo" to close the mold. You should hear a click sound again. Finish, fill it to the top. Tap it gently to the desk few times, to help the air to raise to the top. If necessary, fill it again. I recomend to use also some tape behind the mold to avoid the silicone goes outside. It's good to spray a thiny wall of oil before assembly the mold and put in the silicone, in order to help the detachment. After that wait few hours, as your silicone instructions. Open the mold gently.
