Want quicker heat up times? Having trouble keeping your hotend at temp when your layer fan kicks on? This is the upgrade for you.
You can hit over 300C with these on an all metal hotend but most 100K thermistors will not read this high. If you want to exceed 300C you need a PT100 thermocouple (sold separately).

Part Fitment/Installation/Wiring
This is a universal 3D printer part. That means it will work on almost any 3D printer. Electrical parts usually will require you to splice wires into your existing ones for the part you are replacing (soldering and heat shrinking wire splices is recommended for proper connection).
Some of our universal electrical parts come with bare wire ends or plugs on them. These ends may or may not directly plug into your 3D printer. If they do not, you will need to splice the wires into the existing ones on your 3D printer.

This is another must have if you either print using high temps, or like me – are just impatient about waiting for your hot end to come to temp. will require a PID tune to dial it in, but is an awesome upgrade for your hot end. VERY worth the small investment. Quality insulation, long wires, and a very robust design. A+ in my book.

Well, before I got this heater cartridge my life must’ve been so boring, I mean you spend like two minutes just waiting for the parts to heat up. Well, this heater cartridge heats up in about 20 seconds, and is actually very good at handling the temperature.
IF ANYBODY is skeptical before getting this all I’m going to say is Don’t be, the quality of this heater is phenomenal and makes heating times about twice as fast, and if you think you don’t need it, believe me you do, plus the price is not one that you can argue about.
To the makers of this: Thanks a lot for creating this, and keep up the good work, I love your work here and make sure to have a great day.

I have a stock Creality CR6-SE with the stock mainboard and firmware. When adding the 50W heater cartridge do I need to update the firmware and/or do a PID calibration? Your advice is appreciated!

Tim Hoogland (verified owner) –
Any time, on any printer if you change the heater cartridge it is recommended to do a PID tune. The printer will work without a PID tune but the temperature may overshoot or undershoot at first.

Do I need to change firmware settings to allow to print on a stock creality 5 plus silent board at higher temps? Is so any guidance on making the change on the Creality silent board w/stock display?

You do not. But it is really recommended to run a PID tune after installing. https://support.th3dstudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/360043728451-P-I-D-Hotend-Calibration-Guide

Put this into my Ender 3 heater block and noticed an immediate improvement in how quickly my nozzle could get up to temp. Only using it for PLA right now and I still think it is worth the upgrade from stock for such a reasonable price.

Do you carry the PT100 thermocouple mentioned in the description? Search only takes me to this heater cartridge.

We do not carry PT100 types. PrintedSolid.com does carry the E3D ones that work well.

Looks like I need to replace the stock heater in my CR-10 S5. Is there an easy way to tell whether I need the 12V or the 24V version?
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
You can look at the label on your power supply. But a CR-10 S5 is a 12V printer.

Will this work on a Microswiss all metal hotend in a Cr-10S4 with a EZboard? Do I need the 12 or 24 Volt version? (im using the stock PSU)
(0) (0) Watch Unwatch
Tim Hoogland –
Yes it will work in the MicroSwiss hotend. If you have a CR-10 S4 that would be a 12V printer.

I print at 250C constantly. I can heat up faster, and maintain temp a little better compared to the stock 40watt heater, and fits perfectly in my Ender 3 pros MK8 Hotend. There is PLENTY of wire – probably more than you will need. but it works nicely.

I replaced one of the common “red tail” heaters on my Ender 3 after it quit working with one of these. The old one would get to temp by jumping a degree or two every second or so. So to get to 200C from 30C would take about 2+ minutes. For bed leveling, I had to set the recovery at 20 seconds to make sure I was back at temp. This monster heats at 3-4 degrees a second and I am at temp in less than a minute. Recovery during EZABL bed test is easily in 8 seconds. Sure, a couple minutes isn’t a lot of time for 3D printing, but when you are waiting to watch the first layer go down on the bed, it is great to be printing ASAP.

I don’t think I can go back to using a 40W heater ever again. Heat up times are always under a minute. I also watched Tim’s youtube video titled “How To Video – Replacing Your 3D Printer Hotend – Complete with Fans” to understand how to correctly splice wires which made the install pretty easy.
