11 – Installing the Hot End and Bowden Tube
11.1 – Preparing the Hot End Wiring
For this task, you'll need the short length of heat shrink tubing and the 3/8” Black, Expandable
Mesh Loom.
Cut a 26” long section of mesh loom. The material will cover the 18ga and 26ga hot end and
26ga fan wires from the top plate to a point between 2.5” and 4” short of the end of the wires. Tape the
hot end and fan wires together and slide the mesh loom section you just cut over them.
Make sure that when you slide the loom over the wiring
that it reaches up to the center hole in the top, plus a little bit
more.
Now, I want you to cut a 1” piece of heat-shrink tubing.
Slide it over the bare-wire end of the mesh loom. Adjust it
such that half is covering the mesh and half is covering the
wire. See the image below for a general example.
