Sorry I hadn't responded. I actually thought I had but must have just watched them. Thanks for linking. I think I'll try the one that used the Auto rtv. I have some of that.
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
Hi LichtJaeger, do you happen to still have socks available to sell? 🙂
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
These aren't the same, but I'd argue that they are better 🙂
I used to make my own design myself, but these are professionally made, still the same design though!

I am using these. Works great. Nozzle still clean!
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
I stumbled upon some made just for the Mini on Etsy of all places, I was buying something else from the vendor for my Mini and checked out what else they had…
I will install one tomorrow and see how it works out, I too am working on things I can do to avoid or at least minimize blob damage

US based folks, would this stuff work?

It looks like it is is 40A shore hardness and can withstand 600F
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
I bought these from @lichjaeger ad they work great!
The first silicon sock is done.
I will upload the mold after some adjustments and tests.
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
When you add a sock to the Prusa mini, do you need to run any kind of PID autotune and/or temperature calibration? My mini is arriving soon and I order the sock-x by @thomas-levendig.
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
Yes you should PID tune the hotend with the sock on, as it adds more temperature stability.
RE: Specific silicon socks for Mini
It's actually recommended not to do so, and adding the sock makes a minor difference anyways. You can find more information about PID tuning on the Prusa Mini here: https://github.com/prusa3d/Prusa-Firmware-Buddy/releases/tag/v4.3.3
