<![CDATA[SoliForum - 3D Printing Community — 11mm Hex Socket?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/topic/16021/11mm-hex-socket/ Sun, 15 Jan 2017 03:03:39 +0000 PunBB <![CDATA[Re: 11mm Hex Socket?]]> https://www.soliforum.com/post/131137/#p131137 You must be right, because the 11mm is just barely too small to fit.  I'll see what I can find, and I'm sure it won't cost anything worth reimbursing.  Thanks for the reply.

While I'm here, do you think there would be any value in replacing the included insulation with Pyrogel?  It's a ridiculously good insulator, and I've got it laying around, but I'm not sure if there would be much benefit in this application.  http://www.aerogel.com/products-and-sol … ogel-xt-e/

11mm should nominally work, though it is possible the auger is slightly larger in which case I'd try a 7/16" socket (11.1mm) or a 12mm socket. We are of course happy to reimburse any incurred costs for a new socket, or to send a slightly larger one - just get in touch via the Filastruder contact form on the website.
