A 'Tim the Toolman' heater cartridge

At 100w @ 200vac, this is definitely over powered: [www.ebay.com]

Could use it to heat my coffee.

Might work off an ssr with max pwm at 50%. Certainly wouldn't struggle to keep a hot end hot even at quite high flow rates - volcano 1.2mm nozzle?

Snag with big watt heater cartridges - they are way bigger than the heater block. So you can't get their full output transferred to the block.

Unless you got a heater block longer than 50mm, which is a big chunk of metal to maneuver at high G.

Homemade heater cartridges can't be legally sold in Europe, California, or China without ROHS testing, which costs quite a chunk of cash to get. You can DIY your own cartridges but selling them isn't an easy option.
