        <description> Hi All.  I was wondering if someone can tell me what the name of the part below is.  I want to order a couple of replacements so I have them on hand, but, am not sure what it is called:

            <description><![CDATA[ My  Aurora I3 had that very same set up extruder. can't see how you could possibly damage that part.It's well protected by the metal casing it screws to.<br />
The only problem I foresee is stripping the threaded holes for the grub screws,but you can drill those out,and retap with next size up thread.<br />
I have replaced it with a geared extruder,so if you'd like to swim to new zealand,you can have my heater block.:D.<br />
If I were you,I'd be more concerned about the brass nozzle,I broke mine trying to unscrew it,after it had started leaking.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ <blockquote class="bbcode"><div><small>Quote<br /></small><strong>cdru</strong><br />
Replacements?  You must be pretty rough on your printer if you're damaging it so much you want to have a couple of replacements.<br />
<br />
It's a non-standard part. From the looks of it, the amount of time we've spent talking about it is longer than what it would take to just make a duplicate from a square piece of aluminum bar stock.</div></blockquote>
<br />
LOL<br />
<br />
I haven't completed the printer yet, but, this part only costs a few bucks from China, and I figured that I may as well grab a few in case this gets hosed in the future.  The one month China weight blows.]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ Thanks all.  It doesn't appear to be any of those though.  If someone happens to have this same block in there hotend, could you possibly post a picture of it installed?<br />
<br />
Any other clues as to what it may be called?]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[ It's the heatsink block. Attaches to a cooling fan. Inside the threaded rod that goes through the block is a PTFE thermal break, if it is anything like mine. Never had a jam in 2.5 years of use.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[ That's certainly a part not commonly seen in hotend designs. Best idea whould be to look up the sources of this hotend, there you can get a definitive answer.]]></description>
