[@jasperbarnett6819]

Yeah this continues to demonstrate why I have no plans to ever "upgrade" to Revo. I can get a hardened steel CHT nozzle today, and I still don't see the benefit of rapid nozzle changes as someone who is MAYBE using his printer 25% of the time, so just having a wear resistant 0.4mm nozzle is really all I need. Especially since so much of what I make is structural parts, where printing fast can be a really bad thing for part strength, I'll happily trade the 50% longer print times for just knowing that my printer will happily handle everything from PLA to carbon filled PC with zero issues...

[@ericlotze7724]

It would be nice in my opinion, but between the Closed Source Nature, and like you said how an abrasive resistant 0.4mm (or whatever your “standard nozzle size” is) nozzle will work 75% of the time, I don’t see much of a need there.

[@spindlywebs]

[@dn275]

I still don't understand the sales pitch for this system. Nozzle changes are already easy and quick. Nozzle choice is limiting. How often and for what reason is there to change nozzles often enough to warrant locking yourself into this ecosystem? I see it being aimed at people who are new to 3D printing and selling them on the simplicity. Even then, is unscrewing something and screwing something else in that high of a bar?

[@jasperbarnett6819]

@@dn275 I guess people have issues with stripping their heater blocks or bending the heat brake when hot tightening? But like, that can be much more easily solved by just using a copper block and adding a couple screws through the block and into the heatsink, Mosquito-style... Or just by not over-tightening the nozzle... There are even PRINTABLE TORQUE WRENCHES that folks have designed for exactly this purpose. I honestly don't understand the Revo hype when I could just get a Mosquito, with better performance, full compatibility with any of my old nozzles, a higher max temperature, and only VERY marginally more difficult nozzle swaps (oh no I'll need to get a socket wrench and be careful not to touch the hot bits). The retraction trick in the end gcode to make Revo fully cold-swappable is just as doable on a standard setup, and you only need the heater block to be hot when you're screwing the new nozzle in, so you can be unscrewing the old nozzle, putting it away, and getting out the new one while stuff heats up...

[@ProtonOne11]

I get that pressfitting that core in there makes sense to get the best thermal transfer and makes it completely tight and rock solid. And it's probably easier and cheaper to manufacture than a threaded version. If you could unscrew that center core piece however, it would make cleaning/repairing or even replacing a worn out nozzle tip so much easier and cheaper.

[@MisterkeTube]

I had the same thought: how the hell would you unclog that thing? You will not be able to push a needle through it, right? Also cold-pulling won't work, I guess ... So, how do you unclog this if some cooked plastic gets stuck in that bottom cavity? Lemme guess, you have to buy another one of those expensive nozzles?

This is all cool and impressive… for people who already have Revos. I personally run my Vorons up to 200-250mm/s and specifically tune my profiles to max out the hotend as best as I can. As someone who looks for performance it’s hard to imagine me ever getting a revo high flow, I think the convenience of changing a nozzle in probably 10 sek less just isn’t worth getting yourself into this ecosystem wich is limiting in many ways. I have to walk over into another room to change my printers nozzle anyways, I don’t care if I change it in 20 or 30 seconds and with the auto z calibration adjusting the z offset is also a non issue

You can learn many things about a person by watching their eyes while they speak. For instance, if, as a person is speaking, they close their eyes, this can be interpreted to mean they are inventing what they are saying instead of reciting something they know for a fact. When a person closes their eyes AND looks away (sometimes this is called "falling asleep"), we can interpret that as meaning they are unhappy or even ashamed of themselves because they know that have misspoke (another word for this is lie). I'm writing this here because of something I saw in your pitch for Skill Share. I don't doubt for a moment that many of the people are sincere and very creative / experienced. But then there are the hucksters. Being able to recognize that our eyes reveal our truth, I'll call it, is very helpful when you're putting together a team. Now, back to watching this GREAT VIDEO!

[@Yanceyray]

Great video and appreciate your work. Please put it on consideration to test 0.6 nozzles with ABS to see what the flow rates are. The heater capacity analysis was also informative. Based on your findings I suspect a 60w is required for 0.6.

[@frankearl9285]

I'd say it depends on the material. You'll probably do okay with PLA/PETG/ABS/ASA. PC and Nylon will likely need the 60W to gain maximal advantages of the nozzle design.

Maybe instead of cold pulling try using a noclogger and see if that helps. The split might be more difficult for the metal rod but it might also push through instead of having to risk damage to the nozzle.

[@QuinnMorley]

The limiting factor with the power isn't steady state, it's when suddenly you hit a fat bridge area, double the print speed, and max the fan out at the same time. It isn't that you don't have enough power for that situation, it's a question of whether your PID will sort it out before the thermal protection kills your print. This was with a brass volcano block that was just suuuper sensitive to cooling. Really a struggle to PID tune for high-flow and fan on/off, even with a sock, so it's good to have some margin on the power if you are going with high flow rates.

[@lasskinn474]

it's an insert(the nozzle side is machine separately and press fit inserted into the 'holder', midway of the path split).

[@TheAtomicSoul]

Looking at the cutaway, the new nozzle seems to have a "flat area" before it enters the thin section to be extruded. (As opposed to it smoothly narrowing to a point.) This looks like an issue with how it's manufactured, but could that effect it's flow?

[@smokeysify]

I wonder if its more efficient than a sharp tip

[@OscarOliu]

Looking at the entire nozzle, it looks like it might be stepping down the size to smooth melt path, if I were to guess anwyway, I am no engineer lol

[@andreask87]

Yeah that could become an issue over time and especially with obxidian variant + filled filaments... When you just look at the insert part standing on the outflow tip (like in the picture on the right side @ 1:45), the 4 bores that converge to the center have flat areas between them and the bore-edges are sharp and not chamferd or rounded, like with bondtech CHT. Theoretically those areas could act like flow dead zones and over time build-up of burned filament and other debris might occur until a natural flow-curve builts itself out. However, i guess E3D tested those long enough that this is not an issue with normal Filaments. Those flat areas coupled with the comparatively big widening of the filament path around the dome is most likely also the reason why Stefan could perform a proper cold pull. The plastic just gets spread to wide in diameter so you can't pull it through the typicall 2mm heatbrake/PTFE tube in a non-molten state.

[@CNCKitchen]

It will definitely affect flow yet if you read the E3D blogpost you'll see that they played around with various different designs and deemed this to be the best.

[@TheAtomicSoul]

Wait, @CNCKitchen: If the four diverted tunnels are 1mm each, then the path goes from 1.75mm to 4mm, to nozzle diameter. This not only explains why cold pulling didn't work (4mm down to 1.75mm), but doesn't that effect the flow rate when it starts and stops? Would it work better if each section was closer to 0.43mm to keep the area the same size?

Fantastic analysis. I think the value proposition might make sense for some very niche applications. I personally never change nozzle sizes, and a cheap knock off Volcano hotend with a CHT nozzle will outperform the Revo HT. At the price they're going for, I'd rather just buy a separate printer if I ever needed to print with a larger nozzle size.

[@frankearl9285]

@@CNCKitchen thanks for clarifying. You were attempting to make an apples to apples comparison. So if someone took the Revo HF nozzle design and put it on a traditional V6 style hotend… It would beat the CHT head to head? So Revo’s shortcoming is the length of the heat zone/break?

Even though i am a budget 3d printer enthusiast if i were to get a highflow nozzle i'd probably end up getting one nozzle per plastic type if i was switching filaments and printing at a high volume.

Curious what issues you've heard of with printing TPU with a CHT. I'm a FPV pilot so almost all of my printing these days is TPU for drone parts like GoPro mounts and using a 0.5mm CHT nozzle has allowed me to push speeds up to 50mm/s for printing some parts on my Voron V0 with standard 95A TPU. Cosmetic quality isn't "perfect" at this speed, there's some very minor surface defects, but I'll trade that for being able to print parts in just over 1/3 of the time any day. Always impressed with your vids! The level of care you put into each one is inspiring. I've been trying to devise a guide to TPU printing since I've been less than satisfied with what's out there on the subject but it's daunting.

[@specialingu]

i think i had trouble with some tpe 83 shore and a cht or cht clone nozzle.... id get very very thin walls, and then it would stop. i switched to a larger normal nozzle, and it behaved much better. im guessing its because the center of the filament is running head first into a obstruction.

I've tried the CHT clone some time ago, but I had problem where dust from filament got stuck inside the nozzle and I was unable to clean it. 1 of the 3 channels is clogged. So you should always use filament sponge filter or smiliar when using these kinds of nozzles.

[@Nevir202]

Serious question. If getting enough filament heated fast enough to keep flow up is that hard, why not a nozzle which feeds two or more strands of filament in at once? Just literally double the amount of filament inside, since as you said the heat output of the hotend isn't the bottleneck.

[@urgon6321]

Most likely nothing unless you have a good patent lawyer and can actually decide if you would need to get a licence for the core heat technology.

Its good, but the nozzle is almost as expensive as a complete Volcano hotend with a Bondtech CHT Volcano nozzle. Which probably has even higher flowrate? With regular nozzles theres also the option of hotends with even longer meltzones like rapido. Or abrasion resistant CHT Volcano nozzles (for the same price).

whenever you get the 60w version can you make a tutorial vid on how to install it on the voron? Im not sure how you would change the software when going from the 40w to 60w.

[@MrTimElmore]

Just a PID tune, no other changes needed.

As always, this is a great video Stefan.

If I ever get around to spinning up my 3d printing business again, things like this are worth it. For a hobbyist that may print a couple smaller things per day, probably not

[@dsp4392]

I'm thinking the opposite. In a business setting you don't want to fiddle with your printers. If you need to print in multiple nozzle sizes, you just have one printer for each size. In my opinion the Revo is mostly useful for hobbyists with limited space, or who really don't want to own more than one printer.

genau wie die KSS Bohrung im Wendelbohrer =) So wird das gemacht

[@GB-uy1tq]

Why not run a water soluable filament through the heated tip to clear it of any residual previous filament, then allow the tip to cool down ,drop the tip into a glass of water, et viola! Cleared tip!.

or cleaning filament

[@ismaelyu5]

doesn't the PTFE on the adapter limits the heat exchange?? BTW If someone needs ideas for nozzles, just look at the crazy machining of oil heater nozzles with vortex generators etc.

[@AMidgetWalrus]

I really hope we get a standard Obxidian CHT nozzle. I'd gladly drop $50-60 on one of those. Not too into Revo, the costs well outweigh the benefits IMO. Also I see this thing jamming like mad with any kind of filled filament, though it's brass so CF is likely off the table already.

[@jothain]

What good it's to split flow as it can't be heated from center anyway?

[@lawlcake8788]

Would tungsten carbide high flow nozzles ever be a thing? Been looking for something like that for ages but cant seem to find anything.

[@zeekjones1]

Now if only the press fit had a release for cleaning, that would improve it further.

[@ameliabuns4058]

I’m super curious about print quality improvements from this as I wanted to write software to compensate for the flow variations

[@crosswindjones]

That looks like a modified stealthburner front cover -at least. Would you be able to share that mod?

[@Joyntie]

maybe this will work for me, for some reasone i never got the CHT to work, it always clocked up....

[@AndehX]

~10% difference, give or take, from a CHT nozzle but costing like 800% more than the CHT nozzles on aliexpress? Not sure how many of these REVO intend to sell, but I wouldn't bank on them taking off... 😅

[@TheZombieSaints]

🤔 I wonder what that nozzle would do to Tri-colour filaments? I think it would mix it all into one colour. I'd love to see what it does do to speciality filaments like that.

Torpedo. 100 year old injection molding technology. "What's old is new again"

[@CNCKitchen]

Oh that's an awesome comment! I wasn't aware that this existed.

[@bernthullen8211]

For real high flow, it would be interesting to do the tests with a 1.4 mm nozzle and 1 mm layer high. And compare this to a super volcano system!

[@adriansue8955]

CHT Patent? It's basically the same concept, split the filament into multiple paths so it can be melted faster. I guess the patent didn't stick? prior art from injection molding machines?
