Upgrade M5 Bimetal Heatbreak Plated Copper Titanium High Temperature Feeding Tube Compatible with Ankermake M5 3D Printer Extruder Hotend Parts (Bimetallic Heatbreak)

More melt-ey. More melt-ey *good good* 😁

Received the M5 upgraded heat block and all appeared great. It is noticeably heavier than the original, which speaks to the quality but unable to tell if the extra weight would affect performance. Unfortunately, the two small alignment holes that the pins from the heat sink fit into are not drilled. This makes the new unit too tall (by 4mm) to fit properly when screwed together and is thus not usable. Shame, two more holes and it would have likely been a great upgrade. Hopefully they will fix their specs. To their credit, the line drawing they have in the description does show the heat block as it was shipped. I just wish it fit. I’m past my return window so now I’m out the money. Oh well, don’t do like I did. Look closely! I also ordered the heating element and bi-metal heat break and they appear to be up to spec, though I have not used them yet. Just compared them to the stock pieces.

So, while waiting for the all-metal hotend set for my M5, I ordered this. It fit fine with the old hotend set (without isolation column). I've printed PLA, PETG and ABS with it and it seems to work fine.

I'm happy with the transaction.👍😊

after receiving this housing, it looked good (nice plating) but it ended being the wrong design !!- this housing is NOT compatible with Ankermake M5 printer, it has the wrong hole pattern to align with the head, I didn't check but it might fit a M5C- the material is totally wrong (brass), it should be aluminum and nothing else...Thermal conductivity is key for this function and also it is a lot heavier and might change the printer response and/or precision.bottomline : a total fail and had to be returned.

Installed on an OEM hot end on an M5, been using it to print at 300c with no issues. The only thing that could be improved is a longer tube because it’s shorter and makes it harder to load filament but works great otherwise!

I recently installed the Upgrade M5 Bimetal Heatbreak Plated Copper Titanium High-Temperature Feeding Tube on my M5 printer and am very impressed. This heatbreak is a significant upgrade over the stock PTFE-lined hotend. It is made of a combination of copper and titanium, which makes it very heat-resistant and durable. It also has a smooth inner wall that helps prevent the filament from clogging.I have been using this heatbreak for a few weeks now and have had no problems with it. It has allowed me to print with various filaments, including high-temperature filaments like PETG and ABS. I have also noticed that my prints are coming out cleaner and more consistent.Overall, I am very happy with the Upgrade M5 Bimetal Heatbreak Plated Copper Titanium High-Temperature Feeding Tube. It is a great upgrade for any M5 printer owner.Pros:Heat-resistant and durableThe smooth inner wall that prevents the filament from cloggingAllows you to print with a wider variety of filamentsPrints come out cleaner and more consistentCons:None at momentOverall rating:I recommend this heatbreak to anyone looking to upgrade their M5 printer. It is a great value for the price and has significantly improved my printing experience. *REMINDER-This does not work with the M5C printer and requires updated firmware and PID settings.

I installed this in my factory hotend and it worked fine... but about 2 weeks later I swapped out the entire hotend for the all-metal one from Ankermake. So while I didn't have a long run of printing with this product, it worked well on the few prints I did with it. The copper is much more thermally conductive and heated up noticeably faster. As others have mentioned, it doesn't has the ptfe tubing extending up, so I added it from the old one just to make filament loading easier. If you don't go with the all-metal hotend, I'd say this is a good upgrade for ya.
