Description
This mold can be used to cast silicone socks for a DRAGON hotend.
The wall thickness of 3mm provides better insulation and the sock fits verry well so it cant get loose during printing.
Only use heat resistant castable 2 component (RTV) silicone.

This silicone cannot be used in SLA/DLP made molds, it will not cure in it!
No release agent is required, the cured silicone can be easily detached from the plastic (PLA/PETG).
