Description
Anycubic Hotend Silicone Sock 3pcs is a replacement protective accessory set for the print head of Kobra 2 Series FDM 3D printers. The silicone sock is installed around the hotend heater block and helps protect the hot zone from melted filament buildup, contamination and rapid temperature fluctuations during printing.
A properly fitted silicone sock helps maintain more stable hotend temperature, reduces heat loss and lowers the chance of plastic collecting around the nozzle. This is especially useful for regular printing with PLA, PETG, TPU, ABS, ASA and other materials where a clean hot zone affects extrusion stability, first-layer quality and surface finish.
