3D Printer Heatbreak

3D printer heatbreak is the part connects the heater block and the heat sink on your 3D printer head. That is to say, 3D printer heatbreak connects the hotend and the cold end, and plays an important role of preventing heat creeps from the hotend to the cold end.

For this purpose, a heat break is usually made of materials with super low thermal conductivity, such as stainless steel and titanium alloy. In addition, bimetal heat breaks that combine brass upper part for cold zone dissipation and titanium alloy lower part to prevent heat creep for the hot zone are popular as upgrading options.
