Copperhead Heat-break for Prusa Mini
Level-up and solve the heat-creep
This bi-metallic heat-break made by Slice Engineering for the Prusa Mini addresses and solves the heat-creep issues of all materials we tested.
The adjusted length of the PTFE tube also prevents clogs to form between the tube and the heat-break.
Shipping with Silver thermal grease and ready to use PTFE tube.
Included in this kit:
- 1x Copperhead P Mini heat-break
- 1x 32.8mm 2/4 chamfered PTFE tube
- 1x Silver based thermal paste bag [14118]
Recommendation
We recommend to use the included silver based thermal grease to properly fit the P Mini heat-break in the Prusa Mini’s heat-sink.
Notes on twisting the heat-break
To address the heat creep issues the design features a narrow steel throat with thin walls. When removing the heater block or changing nozzles, caution is required.
Before removing the heater block from the heat-break (or vice versa), heat-up the nozzle, hold the heater block and release some tightening pressure from the nozzle. Let the whole group cool down. After, you can simply unscrew the heat-break from the heater block.
To remove or replace a nozzle, never forget to secure the heater block before twisting the nozzle.
