| - | Another alternative to taping the 19mm piece of material to the heater block itself is to instead tape it to the other 14mm strip. The position of the 19mm piece in this option is adjusted so that it extends down the side of the heater block to match the width of the 14mm skirt (which is put around the other three sides as described above). This should give the appearance of a continuous skirt all the way around the heater block which is subjectively slightly neater looking. The bottom of the heater was left open primarily again for aesthetic reasons (the cooling fan won't reach the bottom and heater block is now insulated on all the other sides). | + | Another alternative to taping the 19mm piece of material to the heater block itself is to instead tape it to the other 14mm strip.

However if you are using a PLA cooling fan then you might consider covering the bottom side as well as there is a lot more indirect airflow. |
