Burnt Silicon Nozzle Covers

[jirodriguez72 19]

One request would be for a high temp version of the silicone nozzle covers that can withstand temps upwards of 300 °C. I primarily print in carbon filled nylon and carbon filled polycarbonate, and many of my prints run between 4-6 days of continuous printing - so at the end of one print run my silicon nozzle cover looks like this. The burnt side was from a 6 day print with NylonX at 265° on the hot end, the other side was my support material (Aquasys120) at 240°. I basically have to replace the cover after every print because it gets so crispy that it starts dropping bits of burnt silicon onto the print. I am guessing anybody else running consistently much above 250° is going to have the same issue - I for one would be willing to pay more for a cover that lasted longer at high temps vs. one that I have to constantly replace and constantly is dropping bits of burnt silicone onto the prints.

Second that. It's quite a pain, same issue with Polycarbonates long prints.
