3mm Cartridge Heater for 3D Printing Machine
A
3mm Cartridge Heater is a compact heating element ideal for applications like 3D printing, where precise and consistent heating is critical. In 3D printers, these heaters are typically used to heat the nozzle or the hot end, enabling the extrusion of thermoplastic filaments.
The coil count is tailored to the heater's power specifications, ensuring optimal heat distribution and prolonging heater lifespan. This design also minimizes oxidation of the heating wire, even at elevated temperatures. Whether heating solids, liquids, or gases, our cartridge heaters excel in transferring heat swiftly through conduction, provided they are in direct contact with the heat sink. Ideal for manufacturing plastic and rubber components in the automotive industry, these heaters are equally vital in food processing, chemical, electronics, medical equipment, packaging, and nuclear industries.
Beyond our extensive standard range, we specialize in custom-developing and manufacturing cartridge heaters tailored to meet your 3D printer.
Cartridge heaters feature a crimped-on or swaged-in construction, incorporating a high-grade nickel-chromium resistance wire for exceptional performance.
This wire is meticulously wound around a superior-quality MgO core, which is perfectly centered within a stainless steel casing.
Key Feature:
- Small Diameter (3mm): The slim design allows it to fit into tight spaces, making it perfect for the compact hot ends of 3D printers.
- High Precision: Delivers consistent and accurate heating, which is essential for maintaining the correct extrusion temperature.
- Material: Often made from stainless steel for durability and resistance to corrosion.
- Wattage: Typically ranges from 15W to 40W, depending on the printer's requirements.
- Voltage: Commonly operates on 12V or 24V systems, which are standard for most 3D printers.
- Rapid Heating: Offers fast response times, quickly reaching the desired temperature to reduce the warm-up period.

Factors - How to Choose the Right Cartridge Heaters:
Consider the following factors to select the right cartridge heater:
1. Operating temperature
2. Watt density of the heating element
3. Sheath material (corrosive or non-corrosive)
-
- Temperature of the corrodent
-
- Degree of aeration of exposed corrodent
-
- Velocity of the corrodent
Step-by-Step Guide to Installing Cartridge Heaters:
1. Create a precise hole in the section to be heated.
2. ream a smooth hole for optimal contact and enhanced heat transfer
3. extend the hole through the section to facilitate easy removal of the unit when necessary.
4. if making a through hole is not feasible, increase the hole size within the acceptable tolerances
5. Minimize vibration and flexing of the lead wires to extend the service life
6. prevent liquid contamination by protecting the heater's end
