3D Printer Extruder Heating Element

Replace damaged heating elements in your 3D printer, or switch them out to print at a faster speed or higher temperature. Also known as hotends, these heating elements receive filament from an extruder, melt it, and then pass it through a nozzle onto the part being printed. They are compatible with most fused filament fabrication (FFF) 3D printers. Changes to the heating element or temperature cartridge will also require a software update, or your printer may overheat.

Select a heating element with a voltage and extrusion type that match your printer.

Volcano—Volcano heating elements can print twice as fast as V6 and Mosquito styles. They fit nozzles with large openings, which allow more filament to flow through and result in a faster, stronger print. They come fully assembled, so setup is quick and error free.

For Direct Feed Extrusions—In printers with a direct feed, the extruder is attached to the heating element, feeding filament directly into it.
