So I bought a hotend from here I need to add "Silicon heat compound" to the power resistor for optimal heat transfer.
[
www.hotends.com

That part is easy, but what in the world is this "Silicon heat compound" called in Singapore and where can I get such a thing which can transfer 230+ deg celcius?

hi,
I think it should be those paste for CPU. You can buy it at Sim Lim Square. Not sure if can withstand more than 230 deg celcius.

Thanks for the reply. What does everyone here use anyway? Or do you all buy assembled nozzles?
