E3D V6 SOLID BRASS VOLCANO HEATER BLOCK

1. Slower, More Controlled Heat Diffusion:

• While aluminum conducts heat faster (high thermal conductivity), brass diffuses heat slower. This can be advantageous in a 3D printer heater block.
• Slower diffusion allows for more even heat distribution within the block itself. This helps prevent hot spots that could lead to inconsistent filament melting and potential printing defects.

2. Reduced Heat Loss to Surrounding Areas:

• The slower heat diffusion of brass can also be beneficial in minimizing heat loss from the heater block to surrounding components in the 3D printer.
• This translates to better overall heat retention within the block, which can be especially helpful for maintaining consistent printing temperatures during long prints.
