Due to its strength and lower thermal conductivity, titanium is much better suited to fulfill the functions of a thermal barrier than stainless steel. E3D-Online and other heatbreak manufacturers use the world's most widely used titanium alloy for their special titanium heatbreaks: Grade 5 (or also Ti-6Al-4V, EN 3.7165, UNS R56400). The Grade 5 titanium alloy has no major weaknesses, is regarded as an all-rounder and therefore accounts for more than 50% of the worldwide titanium volume.

The DICE was, for example, featured on hackaday.io as "sexiest Tiny Metal Core-XY 3D Printer", Thomas Sanladerer wants to build one and various "big player" from the 3d-printing scene have contacted me and we are going to make some very interesting things in the future. You should be curious!
