Re: Displacer and hot end tolerance

oh well.. wich other material i can make the hot end?? the alumium can melt with a solar dish with that diameter right? (1200mm).. i was thinking in cooper.. it has a melting point 1084.62 °C... and a Thermal Conductivity 4001 k - W/(m.K).. what do you think?

You guys think this is fine? or need to change something. And, if my hot end have 65 mm of inner diameter, what should be the thickness? i was think...
