BI-METALLIC
ALL-METAL HEATBREAK
Dual-metal construction eliminates the root cause of heat creep. The copper core conducts heat efficiently into the melt zone while the titanium throat creates a sharp thermal gradient that stops filament softening before the cold zone.
EXTRUDER RESTORATION

INSTALLATION GUIDE
HEAT & REMOVE OLD NOZZLE
Heat the hotend to 200°C. Using the included precision wrench, loosen the existing nozzle counter-clockwise. Always remove nozzles hot — cold removal risks stripping the heater block thread.
INSTALL THE BI-METALLIC HEATBREAK (OPTIONAL)
Power off and allow the hotend to cool fully. Remove the heater block assembly, unscrew the stock heatbreak, and thread in the bi-metallic heatbreak hand-tight. Apply a small amount of thermal paste to the copper-side threads before seating.
Ensure the printer is fully powered off and cooled before handling the heatbreak.
APPLY THERMAL PASTE
Apply a thin layer of the included high-conductivity thermal paste to the nozzle threads. This improves heat transfer and prevents galling. Do not over-apply — a thin coating is sufficient.
THREAD IN NEW NOZZLE
With the hotend at 200°C, thread the new hardened steel nozzle in by hand until finger-tight, then snug with the precision wrench. Do not overtighten — the wrench is torque-limited to prevent damage.
COLD PULL & VERIFY
Load filament and perform a cold pull at 90°C to clear any residue from the installation. Inspect the pull for debris. Run a short test print to verify flow and confirm no leaks at the nozzle seat.
RE-LEVEL & CALIBRATE Z-OFFSET
After any nozzle swap, re-run your bed levelling routine and re-calibrate the Z-offset. Nozzle length tolerances are tight but a quick re-level ensures first-layer quality is maintained.
