suggestions for a high temp thermal conductor?

Hello All

To achieve 195 degrees Celcius inside my barrel I need to push my heater block up to 255.

The thread on my heater block could be tighter on the barrel and I was wondering if anyone could reccomend a high temperature thermal paste I could use on the barrel to ensure good connection between it and the heater. Would standard thermal paste as used for microchips work or would that degrade due to the high temperatures?

My bighead nozzle is also cooler... than the inside of my barrel

and damn - now I have a regular waiterror() as a result of a M113 code...

Here I thought I was going to be printing tonight.

I have used ordinary heat sink compound in the past. I don't think I bothered on the last one I made.

Seems like a massive difference though. Maybe you could use a nut to pull the threads tightly together.

I don't think the nozzle temperature matters too much as the plastic flows through it very quickly.
