Has anyone tried these? How do they preform in comprasion to Trianglelab titanium heatbreak?
I've tried original bondtech heatbreak but it was big disappointment , too many issues that could not be fixed.
Not great results
This may be unpopular opinion, but I tried both Mellow and TriangleLab bimetal heatbreaks (albeit on my Artillery Sidewinder printer) and quickly tossed them and replaced them with an E3D Titanium one-piece heatbreak. In both cases, the bimetal parts caused feed problems that I can only assume were due to internal machining or finish. I have not tried a Slice Engineering heatbreak, and I'd expect those to be excellent, but I am not having any heat creep issues with Titanium at up to 270C. If I were printing at higher temps, I might be more interested.

Thanks for quick reply!
I was thinking about the trianglelab titanium heatbreak too - I hope it would preform better than bondtech one .
Do you have any comparison between these two ?
TriangleLab one-piece parts are good, but probably not any better than Bondtech

Bondtech has a good reputation. TriangleLab is good at cloning (aka stealing) other designs, but I just don't think they're up to some of the more advanced techniques required for bimetal. I am under the impression that they're being challenged on Slice Engineering's patents which, unfortunately, seem to be the best way of fighting off low-cost cloners.
TriangleLab and Mellow do a fine job with one-piece nozzles and heatbreaks, so I have no hesitation using them on technical grounds. I just don't know that they'd be any better than a Bondtech. Keep in mind, my experience has been with my Sidewinder using Volcano-style heatbreaks.

I have used the mellow and several other knockoff heatbreaks, like Bobstro, I have not had great results outside of my first Mellow. I think there are quality issues. I like there nozzles, but will stick to the Bondtech heatbreak for the min.
