Hi all,

Just wondering what the thermal insulating material is called, that is used on the V3b heatblock? Anyone know, and where I could get some from?

And also what size?

Thanks,

loiphin.

I think I figured it out. It seems to be fibreglass sleeving with a silicone coating. I ordered some 20mm ID sleeve for my E3Dv6 (searched for "fire sleeve 20mm" on ebay), to protect the block from being cooled by external fans.
