Silicone sock mold for Geeetech i3 original heating block

thingiverse

This is a mold to make a silicone sock for Geeetech original heating block 20x18x10mm. It is a full sock, for the heating element and thermistor there are holes, so to install it the first time you have to get the resistor and thermistor off. When you need to take it off, just slide it along the wires. I made it like this because it wear much better on the block than the commercial ones that can be placed without removing the resistor. I guess it also helps keeping more heat inside... There are cuts in the mold to help curing as I use one part silicone and it was taking long time to cure when all enclosed. I put tape on the cuts when I fill the mold, then remove it when I finished handling it. Remember to apply some kind of mold release before filling it. I made a sock using normal one part clear silicone, removed from the mold after 24h and it came out of the mold right but it was not completely cured. I guess 48 hours would be better. It was smoking a bit when I turned on the hotend, maybe it was the wax used for mold release that evaporated, now it doesn't smoke anymore printing at 210° and does look ok after few prints.
